Few sane people would have taken on this semi-derelict set of three small barns with trees growing out of the walls! This ongoing project continues to thrill!
Stephen Waldron Architects was commissioned to design, obtain detailed-planning consent, and provide a full set of construction information for the conversion of a small stable block into two holiday cottages.

From the offset, Stephen’s professionalism; knowledge; communication skills and detailed follow through on all aspects of the design and presentation to the Planning department were exemplary …… His foresight and recommendations for all aspects of the build to incorporate all of our requirements and ideas was a major reason we now have a finished build we are very happy with.
Stephen’s hard work and perseverance to push and negotiate through many stumbling blocks experienced from the authorities along the way are a major reason we have the property completed to the high standard we have.
I am pleased to report back that the works have proceeded seamlessly, in an efficient and pleasant manner. Mr Stephen Waldron has advised me that if I have any observations, notes etc on damages, whatever, to report them to yourself now. Happily there are none, save to compliment Mr Waldron on his choice of builder, whom has gone out of his way to minimise disruption and detritus that is inevitably associated with such a project.
Within an hour of Stephen’s initial visit, he was able to show us a rough sketch of the completed conversion. Where we only saw a detached garage full of junk, Stephen saw a sun-room, shower room, utility room and bike shed, connected to the main house! This is a reflection of Stephen’s creativity and imagination. Stephen’s attention to detail and breadth of experience were invaluable in not only employing a reliable builder but in producing a finished product of the highest quality. Our requests for, as far as possible, “environmentally friendly” products to be used were readily taken up by Stephen, and suitable suppliers found. Throughout the building process, Stephen monitored progress by regular phone-calls, e-mails and site visits. The “aftercare” that Stephen provided was also second-to-none: the final payment only being made 3 months after the completion date.
I am very glad everything with the project has gone swimmingly. Mr Waldron did plan meticulously and as such I am not too surprised that there are no resulting issues due to the works. (commenting on the Party Wall aspects of a barn repairs/conversion project in the Brecon Beacons).
You are always very efficient, communicate very clearly and think outside the box with creative alternatives to issues, with nothing ever being too much trouble.
It is very refreshing to work with someone that thinks with a similar mind set, has great ethics and morals, and thinks how problems can be solved.
You work is always to a high standard and we truly appreciate the level of customer care and the professionalism with which everything is dealt with. We would have no hesistation in recommending you to others with complete confidence that you will do the best by everyone involved.
I look forward to building a long-term working relationship with SWA and feel that you will be a key part of our property career as we move forward.
