Carl Drury of Kennet Design is not only a consummate professional but also a pleasure to work with. We had met a couple of other architects before finding Kennet Design, but neither had Carl’s genuine enthusiasm for working on even relatively small projects like ours. Kennet Design has a reassuringly large portfolio of extensions so Carl immediately understood our needs and budget as a growing family and how to get the best from our Victorian terrace. The whole process was very clearly laid out from the start and Carl talked us through the various options. When we changed our minds about a couple of things Carl adapted the plans very quickly. Kennet Design took on the form-filling and applications to the council that I had dreaded having to do, so we could get on with the rather more enjoyable task of coming up with interior design ideas (thanks goes to Carl for the radiator suggestion!). Carl’s experience and determination overcame some initial resistance from the planning officer and we got exactly the design we wanted. He has been on hand to answer our neighbours’ concerns and his gentle affability has proved invaluable in maintaining a civil relationship with them. We are now in the middle of our build and can’t wait to spend the summer holidays in our new light-filled and spacious kitchen/living room.

Not sure where to start, the moment we meet Carl we felt comfortable working with him. The amount of effort he went to in gaining planning permission for our property and the support and guidance they gave during this phase and also after which helped seal the sale of the property.

Carl Drury (Kennet Design) has played a crucial part in bringing our listed cottage into the 21st century . The oak-framed garden room at the centre of this work adds light and space, completing and enhancing the garage to kitchen conversion delivered at the same time. The project included extensive refurbishing of older parts of the cottage and essential structural repairs. All of this required listed building consent and considerable negotiation with relevant authorities, on our behalf. Carl was adaptable and resourceful, involving structural engineers and historic consultants when required. Carl’s astute recommendation of a particular local building firm proved highly successful – and Richard Barnes Ltd of Heddington also receive our grateful appreciation.
Carl Drury took us from concept through to the start of tendering for a builder for our terraced house refurbishment and extension. This included gaining planning approval and building control sign off on his design for our works. Carl was exemplary in how he conducted himself through out this process and above all else was extremely patient with our many changes in the design and what we were needing from the drawings. For complete novices such as us, he was very clear in his explanations and deciphered the 'builder' speak when we got initial estimates from our builders. Carl proved well his adaptability to operating in a new area (Southwark, London). I would happily recommend Carl's services, especially to renovation novices and would have definitely gone further with the others he provides (Project Management and Builder referrals) had our house been closer to where his business normally covers.
