Not sure how to move your idea forward?


If you are thinking about extending, reconfiguring or updating your home but are not quite ready to commit to a design workshop, our free initial consultation gives you the clarity you need. It is a relaxed way to explore your ideas, talk through concerns and understand what might be possible for your house.

Our architects draw on years of practical experience, using this first conversation to help you understand your options and feel more confident before you take the next step.

Magda and Lisa - Pride Road Architects

What happens during your free online consultation

Your architect spends up to an hour with you online, looking at your home together and beginning to understand how you live.

During the call we can:

  • explore your property on Google Earth
  • review Rightmove or estate agent details
  • look at comparable houses on the street
  • check previous planning applications on your council website
  • talk through the layout, potential problem areas and early ideas
  • help you understand possibble costs, permissions and time frames
  • guide you on what to ask the estate agent or seller if you are buying

You are welcome to walk us through your home on your camera phone, which many clients find helpful. This gives us a clear sense of the space and how it works for your family. We listen carefully to your needs, discuss your budget and explain any permissions or regulations you may need to consider. By the end of the call you will understand your options and have a realistic sense of what your project might involve.

In-Person consultations

If your home has had extensive renovations, sits on a slope or has challenging roof spaces or access, we can visit in person for a £60 call-out fee. This is fully redeemable against the cost of your Concept Design Workshop.

An in-person visit can be especially useful if:

  • the history of the house is unclear
  • the roof structure may affect future plans
  • the garden or ground levels impact design choices
  • the property layout is unusual or modified
  • you want reassurance about specific structural concerns

Your Next Step

If you decide to move forward, the next stage is our Concept Design Workshop. This is where we measure your home, sketch layout options with you and explore the ideas that could transform your space.

What our Clients say

  • Magda came up with some excellent ideas for my extension/renovation that I had not considered. She is knowledgeable not just on the design aspect but also the structural and engineering side.

    ~ Priam Heire

  • Great experience, well worth the time and cost. Magda took us through various options, checking on our thoughts and ideas throughout and making really useful suggestions, drawing on experience of past projects. We now have fine decisions to make but it’s great to know what works and how it could look! Looking forward to bringing the plans to life! Thank you Magda

    ~ Lisa Grant

  • The preparatory work and, ‘on the spot’, thinking through of ideas that Magda carried out were very helpful in giving a clear vision of possible design and change solutions. Beforehand I did not really grasp the workshop concept that was proposed, but the experience was very informative and thought provoking. Overall, a highly recommended exercise.
    I consulted Magda in 2018 to develop my kitchen, cloakroom and cellar. She managed to create space and functionality where I couldn’t. She has a very logical and creative way of working which I found very stimulating and enjoyable. Magda was responsive and clearly is a believer in including her clients in the process. I would definitely recommend Magda and Pride Road.

    ~ John Atkins

  • I contacted Pride Road as I really liked how the stages were set out and the transparency of the costs and the initial workshops. Magda was great and worked with me on my ideas but also offered really good alternatives and made me think differently. She was always available when I had queries in between meetings and has been really patient with how long the process has taken (our doing and not Pride Road as they have met every deadline they communicated). Alan was also really helpful and responded quickly with queries. I would not hesitate to recommend them! Thank you

    ~ Emily Jones

  • Lisa designed a beautiful refurbishment of my apartment and it has increased in value by adding extra bedroom and bathroom and a gorgeous open plan kitchen living space. Thank you Lisa and the Pride Road team
