Keeps Architect - Surrey - Leatherhead

Toby D.

Keeps haas been fantastic from the start of the project until the end. Proactively managing the building regulation and the council pushing things through was fantastic as I'm not sure how I would have managed it. We are so very pleased with the final build so I can't recommend him enough for anyone who is looking to do an extension or upgrade their house.

We recently worked with Keeps Architects on a large extension project and have already recommended them to several friends. Joaquin listened to what we were looking for, put forward some great ideas for our project, and was receptive to feedback and ideas from both us and other professionals. We found Joaquin to be very easy to work with, he has a clear communication style and is very responsive to calls and emails. Where issues arose (and there were not many), he engaged with us openly to resolve these, and indeed went above and beyond to support some challenging situations we had with our builders. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Joaquin, and will be working with him on our next project.

We chose Joaquin (Keeps Architect) for our home extension renovation project and are delighted with how our home has turned out. Joaquin listened to our desires for the project and came up with innovative ideas to maximise the key spaces that we wanted which included an outside covered area. Joaquin kept us updated at each step of the process and was able to quickly and efficiently respond to minor issues that arose both during the planning application stage and throughout the build. Thanks Joaquin!

Another great project with Joaquin. He was very patient, responsive and flexible from the start of the design through to completion. We’re delighted with the outcome - a beautiful, light and airy, open-plan living space. It was great to have Joaquin support us throughout the project, particularly in helping us with the builder and specialist sub-contractors. We would definitely recommend Joaquin to anyone considering this type of project.

We employed Joaquin to design a 2 storey side and front extension and open up our ground floor area to create an open plan kitchen diner. My husband works long hours and is rarely home until late evening, Joaquin made time to see us for consultations at weekends and late evenings. Throughout the whole process he was courteous, confident and creative. He was happy to listen to our ideas and give us some constructive feedback. He also put forward his own views and advice with confidence. He communicated well with us , the builder and the council throughout. We have changed an average 4 bedroom house in to a beautiful 5 bedroom home and we are very happy with the outcome.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Joaquin .

Joaquin has chosen his profession wisely: He is both imaginative and creative but also diligent and thorough. He was always professional and calm (even when we weren’t!), full of elegant solutions to smaller problems and helped us along every step of the way, with planners, building control and our builders.

I think what most impressed us was that his interest in the project was as high at the final snagging stages as it was at the planning and initial construction phase. He was always on hand when we needed him, prompt, thorough and in command of the detail. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone thinking of starting on a renovation or a new build – hiring Joaquin was definitely one of the wisest decisions we made. Thanks Joaquin.

We engaged Joaquin to design and apply for planning for ground and first floor extensions to our house. We were impressed with his designs and had confidence from the outset that we had made the right choice of architect.

Joaquin is creative, professional, courteous and extremely responsive. He is very receptive to feedback but equally is not afraid to constructively challenge ideas to deliver the optimal solution for his clients.

He is always willing to go the extra mile and we would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to others.

Joaquin had been recommended to us and we were not disappointed. Joaquin designed an innovative extension on which everyone comments when I am on Zoom or Teams! A big plus for us was having Joaquin project manage as this meant we had a fully effective tender process and the build was three-way with us, Joaquin and our builder. I would recommend Joaquin to others.
