Mrs Ellis

Tom was friendly, approachable, and professional throughout the process. He took the time to talk us through each stage, explaining clearly what would happen and when, which made everything feel much less overwhelming. 

His designs were thoughtful and comprehensive, incorporating everything we discussed while also respecting the existing style of the house. I really appreciated how he noticed details around our home and considered how we, as a family, live in the space.

Tom inspired a lot of confidence. He was clearly very experienced and pointed out a lot of things I hadn’t even thought of. He delivered a great piece of work which has made diving one bathroom into 2 so much easier for me. He has also made himself available for follow up questions even though he has completed the work for me. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

We worked with Tom Booker for around a year, during which he planned and helped supervise a significant modernisation and extension of our property, including a total refurbishment of the property’s interior, walls, floors, electrics, plumbing, garage conversion and large glass extension.
 

Having carried out similar works with other architects in the past, we were very happy with Tom’s work. His level of responsiveness was excellent throughout the project and he was very transparent on time needed, next steps and budget. Tom was happy to follow and execute our wishes, but also proactively suggested alternatives and gave us several creative options to choose from.

Tom communicated well and would point out suggestions for resolution whenever we encountered an unforeseen issue during the build. He also worked well and collaboratively with our chosen contractors and held tension in a productive manner where needed. He also went above and beyond to research certain new ideas or seek out new additions in showrooms to ensure a good fit. Once the project was finished, we were very pleased with the result. We would warmly recommend Tom and happily work with him again in the future!

We used BookerArchitectural for an entire rebuild of our home after a fire. He project managed all the works and achieved something way beyond our expectations. He really knows how to channel light, adding skylights and some innovative architectural touches. Tom was great to work with - highly recommended.

  Tom Booker has helped me secure two Certificates of Lawfulness on HMO's that I have purchased. On each occasion there have been unforeseen complications however Tom has highlighted the issues before the application has been made and both have ultimately been successful.
 

He has also enabled me to look into various options to extend a property and after a choice was made, has submitted plans and successfully achieved planning permission on the first attempt.

 

I will most certainly be using his services again as and when the need arises.

  I have a flat in a Grade 2 listed building.

I was advised to apply to the council’s Heritage department for retrospective permission for the changes that had been made to the layout over the years. This turned out to be a lot more complex than I imagined, requiring architectural drawings, researching archives etc.

Mr. Booker was recommended by a local solicitor and he took on the job and saw it through to completion, in what was from my point of view a pretty seamless process.

He is very pleasant to work with, while giving me full confidence in his competence and professionalism. He explained clearly what was required and why, and then got on with it. Communication was excellent at all times. A task I thought was going to be a nightmare went very smoothly.

I have nothing but PRAISE for the work that Mr. Tom Booker did for me. I would without doubt RECOMMEND him to all my friends and family. Once again thank you VERY MUCH Mr. Tom Booker.

   My wife and I employed Tom Booker to do some architectural drawings and a bathroom extension for our Grade two listed property.  

Since I have recommended him to several clients and my brother in law for jobs as small as a stair handrail to larger extension projects and major remodelling. Each of these recommendations has resulted in happy customers who have been very pleased with the work Tom has done for them. I have no reservations in continuing to recommend Tom, as indeed I plan to continue to use his services myself. 

Tom Booker has worked with us on a property we have recently purchased. Specifically Tom has been involved in every aspect of the design and decoration of the ground floor: building the extension; laying out front and rear garden; building a new kitchen and on overall decoration and design of the ground floor.

Tom was able to interpret our need and taste translating them into ideas that have produced a stylish and practical result. Tom has provided us with a number of innovative ideas that enabled to blend together the different areas of the house.

At time he has insisted on certain solutions and details, towards which we were not entirely convinced, but that they proved to be absolutely the right decision to make.

  We used Tom to obtain a certificate of lawfulness for an HMO we own in Brighton, and would highly recommend him. He was quick, efficient, communicated with us really clearly and we felt the fee was reasonable. We would definitely use Tom's services again.
