Peter provides practical advice, well presented accurate drawings, a prompt and economic service. Someone I can recommend with confidence.

Tony Wheating, Engineer, Wallace Wheating

Peter is a great asset to know and use. He regularly assists us and we are more than happy with the service he provides.

Nathan Sproule, Building Surveyor, Brittain Hadley

I have known and worked with Pete for the last 10 years or so. He has supported my work as an interior designer by providing full site surveys and detailed drawings of floor plans, elevations, sections,  electrical and lighting layouts and joinery. Pete has helpful suggestions to design problems and I have always appreciated his input in the design process.

Hayley Manning, Interior Designer

I have worked with Peter on and off for over 30 years, primarily for a firm of structural engineers where I was a director and we needed a competent and flexible technician to produce survey drawings and proposed layouts for residential conversions and alterations, and later on when I was project managing retail conversions and refits. He is conscientious and responsive, and of course competent, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Philip Harris, Engineer, ex Wallace Wheating

Peter has provided drawings for numerous projects of ours for several years. We have always appreciated his service. We provide Peter with an address, contact details and a brief, then receive clear, helpful and accurate drawings from him quickly thereafter.  These are often accompanied by notes and thoughts from his survey for us to consider with our clients. 

The service is value for money, and Peter’s responsiveness to any queries as the schemes develop is always excellent.

Graham Richards, Surveyor, GKR Associates (Building Surveyors) Ltd

I have used Peter's services for more than 20 years during which time he has guided me through many domestic renovations and developments. 

Peter has been prompt and reliable and current in every way and this gives my clients confidence in the planning of the works involved. 

Not only are his  charges extremely reasonable, sometimes even with his additional time spent assisting with queries and adjustments to original plans. 

Peter is an integral part of any project I take on and cannot recommend his calm, clear and invaluable service highly enough – a good opportunity to say ‘thank you Peter’.

Victoria Rigby, Property Developer

I’ve been using Peter for many years now and recommend him to all my clients. He’s  great to work with, his drawings are to an excellent standard and his service is great value for money. Peter is truly a great asset to my company.

Luke Fuller, Fullbuild Developments

I have worked with Peter Whalley for over 15 years. Initially I was looking for someone who could provide building plans and designs that a builder could build from without recourse to bespoke components or numerous redesigns. 

The great advantage of using Peter is that he understands building regulations and the needs of builders, whilst having the creativity and knowledge to suggest and source good bespoke features that will set your home apart from the crowd. He provides his services at an affordable price. Fantastic, what more can you want?

Patricia Hyde, Property developer

Peter stood out from others.He was helpful in the initial stages, gave advice as to what could be achieved, and provided a clear cost breakdown. He was also able to demonstrate a long history of success.

Peter provided initial concepts, and discussed possible options. He then produced excellent drawings which were detailed, and where there were possible options he provided alternative layouts.

Throughout the process Peter has been easy to approach and provided swift answers to questions.

I have no hesitation in recommending Peter and would certainly work with him again on future projects.

Chris Howells

I used Peter to draw up plans for our loft extension. He provided an excellent service, professional, timely, and well priced. In short "it does what it says on the box". I have no hesitation in recommending him or indeed using him again myself.

Alan Pettitt

I have and will continue to recommend you to my friends and colleagues.

Annita Collier

We used Peter because he was recommended to us by a previous client and they mentioned that he helps at the start with the project planning and will continue helping until the project finish. In our case this included drawings for local planning and building regulations, the organising of engineering structural calculations and liaising with the head of building throughout the process.

As well as being organised and professional Peter’s ideas were very helpful and he was flexible enough to make changes when we changed our minds leading up to the final plans.

We would highly recommend Peter as he provided great customer service whilst being great value for money.

Gareth and Julie Bowen

Peter was recommended to us by a neighbour when we moved to our new home and needed a substantial renovation. We have found Peter very helpful, providing ideas to take us forward with what we hoped to achieve.  He helped us greatly through the planning stage with our local authority and kept us informed at every stage. Thank you Peter

Kathy and Elwyn Hughes

Working with Peter has been an excellent experience. His advice and suggestions have meant that the finished project goes above and beyond my expectations. Simply more than just technical advice and planning, his support and guidance throughout what could be a stressful process has been fantastic.

Ewen Brown

Peter was a great help recently with the loft extension and renovation of my house. I spoke to Peter at the very start of the process as a complete novice. He clearly explained the process from start through to planning and building control approval from the local authority. The drawings he produced were excellent and were easily interpreted by the engineers and subsequently the builders. Peter was also able to give me options for engineers and in particular for builders. The builders I eventually appointed were very good and I am very pleased with the final outcome. Peter’s work was great value for money and was carried out on time and on budget.

Brian Maples

Peter provided us with excellent drawings to help us obtain planning permission for a ground and first floor extension. He gave some very useful advice and made suggestions about how certain rooms would fit into the space, where best to place an ensuite to ensure the room would receive maximum light and ways to improve the natural light by installing skylights and obscured windows.

I felt reassured throughout the process. Peter welcomed my queries and responded very professionally and efficiently. His approach was effective in making the whole process less stressful than it could have been. 

Suki Sidhu

Peter was thoroughly professional and a pleasure to deal with. He was consistently prompt with meeting deadlines and responding to queries and knows his trade inside out. He inspired immense confidence and we trusted his advice and judgement and went with one of the builders he recommended. We're extremely pleased with how our project turned out and have no hesitation at all in recommending him.
