Reigate Architects is based in Surrey and is located close to the M25, the M23 and the mainline station at Redhill. We had put off building our extension for some years partly because of the anticipated challenges and upheavals that it would entail. I am pleased to say we have been delighted with both the outcome and the experience of working with Reigate Architects (Simon).
We had a rough idea of what we wanted but were not fixed in how this should be built. We found Simon an excellent architect to work with and enjoyed sitting down at the kitchen table with him and pen and paper and talking through different ideas. His final suggestion for the design, which exploited some flexibility in the planning rules, was inspired.
We were also pleasantly surprised by the hassle-free nature of the build. Simon managed all interaction with the builders including dealing with the inevitable things that go wrong. I was relieved to leave this to a specialist who we could trust to be on our side. The resulting extension has been a very great pleasure to live in and is much commented on by visitors to the house.

RA were recommended by friends and were there offering advice and guidance even before we had completed on the house purchase. They are knowledgeable, professional and above all creative. The house was gutted with front and back extensions and the fact it all came together into the house we love is because of the constructive but demanding relationship RA had with the builders. Strong project skills and great tracking of costs. Overall an excellent service. Many thanks.

Fantastic experience with Reigate Architects. We thought we knew what we wanted from our extension but Roy guided us through a host of options and the finished result is more than we could have ever asked for. We have a useable family space which has changed our view of the house from a short term option to a home for life. Many thanks Reigate Architects.

Of all the architects I have dealt with privately and in business over 60 years, Simon Walter and his team were by far the most 'user friendly'. They did not carry the oft found delusions of grandeur or self-importance and they listened very carefully indeed to their clients desires and wishes, putting up reasonable structural and aesthetic objections where they saw fit. Their pièce de resistance was caused by a problem with the work on one of the roofs. With no question or resort to Agreements, Simon and the husband and wife contractors worked through a Sunday of very heavy rain to rectify the

Reigate Architects (Simon Walter and his team) provided an excellent service through conceptual design, planning permission to building regulation approval. The creative solution to our renovation/remodel was far beyond our original expectations and I firmly believe that it is worth starting the process with ideas but an open mind as to possible solutions. The quality of solution and accuracy of design drawings was commended by our builders. I would have no hesitation in recommending Reigate Architects for challenging and innovative renovations and build projects.

We knew that we wanted to extend the back of the house to make a family kitchen - but that’s all we knew. We had never taken on a building project before, and so were looking for some professional help. Roy listened to our thoughts, made some excellent suggestions and helped to crystallise our design. Although our builder was great, Roy's expertise and experience ensured that everything was done ‘right’. The end result is more than we had imagined at the start, and the process was as stress free as possible. We would unreservedly recommend Reigate Architects to anyone in a similar situation

We engaged Reigate Architect to redesign our property by incorporating an annex and improving the general layout. Simon came up with innovative ideas that maximize the space and greatly improved the over all appearance of the house. They were professional throughout the whole process and project managed the build phase. We are very happy with the end results and the service provided.
