Services
Architectural Design
Our architectural design service creates tailored solutions that transform client visions into functional spaces. We develop detailed sketches and models to explore options, focusing on how buildings will be used and experienced. Our approach balances aesthetic appeal with practical requirements, ensuring each design enhances the building's purpose while meeting technical standards.
Planning Applications
We manage the complete planning application process, preparing necessary documentation and liaising with local authorities. Our expertise ensures compliance with regulations while maximising approval chances. We advise on alternative routes like Lawful Development Certificates and provide strategic guidance throughout the eight-week determination period required by government targets.
Building Regulations
Our building regulations service ensures all projects meet technical standards through detailed submissions to local authorities. We prepare comprehensive documentation including construction drawings and specifications, typically securing approval within five to eight weeks. This legal requirement ensures safety and quality in all construction work we oversee.
Party Wall Agreements
We specialise in party wall matters under the 1996 Act, facilitating agreements between property owners and neighbours. Our surveyors help clients understand their rights and obligations, preparing necessary documentation to prevent disputes. This service ensures legal compliance while minimising stress during structural modifications or extensions.
Project Management
Our project management covers all stages from tendering to final inspections. We coordinate contractors, monitor progress, and administer building contracts to ensure timely delivery. Post-construction, we conduct defect inspections and arrange necessary rectifications, guaranteeing completed projects meet original specifications and quality standards.

Seamless' is how I'd describe our project lead by Tim and his team. Tim not only transformed our space (kitchen conversion) into exactly what we wanted but guided us through planning consent and building regulations effortlessly. Approachable, humerous and professional, I'd recommend Turner and Hoskins unreservedly - many thanks for making this project entirely stress free.

We were completely satisfied by the architectural services provided by Tim. The project was to design an extension to an 18th century cottage on a sloping site. The extension incorporated an expanded kitchen and dining room, new utility room and pantry, new bedroom and bathroom.
Tim's solution met all our requirements.We appreciated his creativity in optimising the space, plus the advice about planning and building regulations, insurance and the critical process of selecting a suitable builder. During the time we spent together, he was at all times warm, friendly and skilled in helping us arrive

We have now used Turner & Hoskins for two projects - a kitchen extension and a loft extension. They are incredibly competent and creative, and we felt reassured by their knowledge and expertise. They are good at listening to what we wanted and came up with some great ideas, including elements we wouldnt have even considered and have loved. Theyre brilliant at considering light and space, both aesthetically and practically. We have so many compliments. We love both our beautiful kitchen and amazing loft conversion! For something as lifestyle-changing as home alterations its so important
