We used Sam Moss Ltds services for a ground floor extension and new garage. Sam did a thorough site visit and then helped us with a design that we liked, giving us options we had not considered. He saw through the whole process of design, drawings, obtaining planning permissions, recommended a structural engineer, obtained consents for building work and dealt with Party Wall matters. Sam was approachable, professional and all the work was carried out promptly with explanations where needed. In conclusion would definitely recommend Sam Moss Ltd for any architectural services.

Since the first meeting with Samuel, the process of formalising the house renovations was straightforward and hassle free. Samuel takes the stress out of the process and outlines the steps in a clear way, with what is to come at very point. He is very professional and approachable and goes the extra mile to ensure the process goes as smooth as possible. He gave me very realistic advice and was flexible when it came to me changing some design ideas half way through the process. Overall I cannot fault Samuels work ethic or attention to detail. From someone who knows little about the various parts

Really great service and very helpful all through my planning application till the building work, i have used a few architects in the past and Sam by far is the most professional and knowledgeable then the rest. Really was surprised the time he took to measure the house by every cm to perfection, never seen before an architect do that. And his after service was great to any changes or questions, and he definitely has a lot of knowledge for permitted development. I will definitely recommend him to family and friends and if an opportunity arises for me i will definitely use him again. just some picture

Sam helped us with re-configuring the ground floor of our house, presenting us with several options for us to consider. Each option had a detailed drawing and talked us through the pros and cons of each to help us make a decision. Once we had decided which option to go with Sam advised us on all the regulatory requirements including submitting forms and plans on our behalf and conversing with planning officers when needed.
Sam was a pleasure to work with, responded to emails promptly and comprehensively and was available for video/phone calls when it was needed. We would definitely work with

Working with Sam for our extension project has been brilliant. We had quite a complicated issue that required solving and he made this feel like there was nothing to worry about, providing many alternative options and pathways to ensure that we could still proceed with something that would make sense for our property. From the initial request through to planning permission and building regulations granted, he was incredibly thorough, conscientious and wise. We still have a few things to put in place before we can go ahead with our build, but the service he provided was essentially the full package
