Chetham Architecture Design

Tim was recommended to us locally and it proved to be a great recommendation. He listened to us and drew up plans that reflected exactly what we wanted to achieve. We finished our project in time for Christmas and are so delighted with the result. Tim was interested in every stage of our project and frequently went out of his way to advise us and our builders. We can’t recommend CAD highly enough,

I contacted Tim to design two extensions for my house: he was very helpful and took the time to understand exactly what it was we wanted to produce. He listened throughout and explained the whole process; producing the design we were very happy with and steering it successfully through the planning application. Throughout he has responded quickly to the many questions we had and introduced us to other experts when required. I would thoroughly recommend him.

Tim Chetham completed an excellent service for the rebuilding of our kitchen extension: measuring and drawing the whole of our 400 year old lakeland cottage in accurate detail, and submitting all the planning applications efficiently and professionally. The project included the removal and rebuilding of the extension roof with a significant change in pitch, as well as changes in floor levels and glazing of the exterior wall. He communicated directly with our building contractor, and was always prompt with his responses. He is a pleasure to work with. We are very grateful for his work, and his efficiency. I will not hesitate to request his services again.

Hill House is a 16th century former farm house, the main part of which had been converted into modern living accommodation some time ago but which had an adjoining single storey outbuilding/small barn, used for storage, with the western aspect facing onto the Lyth Valley. The brief to Tim Chetham was to develop plans which would see the conversion of this outbuilding into a 2-storey development consisting of a living room and en-suite bedroom, ensuring that the new blended seamlessly with the old, and importantly, maximising the views onto the spectacular Lyth Valley. In scoping the project, Tim engaged well with us and gained a thorough understanding of our requirements. He translated our ideas, some of which were modified by his suggestions, into drawings which, when the final build was completed, exceeded our expectations by, internally, opening up the flow through the ground floor rooms, and upstairs an en-suite bedroom making effective use of the space and, importantly for us, maximising the views from both rooms. Tim met all agreed tasks on schedule and was within his quotation. We would certainly use his services again if required and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others - which we have already done!
