Barn Conversion, West Kent

“I could see from their previous work that Vernacular Homes was just who we were looking for. Trevor was so personable the first time I spoke to him, and I could tell straight away that he was very knowledgeable and trustworthy.

We’d already been granted planning permission through an architect but with a number of constraints. Trevor helped us extricate the designs from the architect and took the project forward, discharging all the conditions and adapting the design. We were facing challenges such as ground contaminations, asbestos removal and ecological surveys and Vernacular Homes knew all the right people to navigate all of these and make the whole process easier.

They were highly competent right from design, through planning law to the build. They also made lots of suggestions and changes to the plans that I wouldn’t have thought we’d be able to do, but they made it all so straightforward.

The whole team was lovely and our project manager was brilliant; whenever we asked him a question, he’d already thought of it – everything was ordered and organised in advance.

It was a really stress-free project and we’re delighted with the end result; I would recommend them to anyone.”
