“Leanne and Aimee have been so involved in our new project, took the stress and pressure off, everything ran smoothly.

“An exceptional service provided by a friendly and professional Architect. Leanne was able to not only meet our needs but exceeded them in both the product which she developed but also the design which we settled upon.Excellent value, we had originally started with a different firm which we thought was charging the norm for the product we received. However, following a friend’s recommendation we spoke with Leanne at House Gecko and have been delighted with the service she has provided. Reliable and very reactive to some of our changing ideas, Leanne was able to take our rough, big handful ideas and craft a design and plans which we were truly blown away by! She had engineered clever use of space and incorporated how we wanted to live while maintaining all the utility which we required. All this quickly and to a very competitive price (better than any other company we had looked at). The finished designs were amazing.I can not recommend her and the team highly enough and would be delighted to provide further advice and feedback if needed.You will not be disappointed should you commission House Gecko, five stars across the board for these very happy customers.”
“They provided a friendly, efficient architectural service. They listened to our needs and expressed these in the drawings whilst being mindful of building regulations and local planning. They took the project from conception to planning and building control approval in a smooth and efficient manner whilst keeping us informed of progress. They provided a value for money cost effective service which we would fully recommend”
