We had the pleasure of working with Alston+Donnelly for our house extension, which included a stunning bespoke kitchen. Richard, the designer and manager, demonstrated an exceptional level of attention to detail and ensured that every aspect of the project was meticulously planned. From the initial design phase to overseeing the construction of the extension and fitting the kitchen, Richard left no room for chance. Throughout the entire process, Richard maintained a friendly yet professional approach, showcasing his remarkable knowledge and expertise. We are delighted with the outcome and wholeheartedly recommend Alston+Donnelly. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

Richard and Steve have provided an excellent service for the design of our house extension. They have navigated the planning process perfectly and were able to provide a design that met all our requirements, looks amazing and gained planning approval without compromise. We would not hesitate to recommend SD Consulting to friends and family and we would certainly use them again.

A fantastic architectural practice. Have had the pleasure of working with both Steve and Rick on several projects and have found them to be diligent, caring and professional. I would have them design my own house when I can find the right plot.
