Jonathan Bradbury Architecture Ltd

I was having trouble finding an architect that would help having spoken with two already; one said it wasn’t large enough and the other was looking to charge huge sums of money. Jonny was recommended by a neighbour who informed me that not only was he really good but reassured me that he was also a really lovely chap to deal with. Liaising with Jonny is a breath of fresh air and he is completely different to most people these days. From my first call with Jonny, he was upbeat, positive, super-friendly and went above and beyond for me. He could sense the stress on the phone I think and came out to see me that afternoon to take control and to get things underway! Jonny has always made time for us, put a lot of effort in to accommodate us and offered huge amounts of extra support and advice. Clearly, Jon is passionate about what he does but also in really understanding what would work for us as a family and what we want the house to feel like, not just what it would look like. None of the other companies I spoke with acted this way, they were only about the value of their fee, how they wanted it to work – Jon always made us feel like we were at the top of his list. Something that is often forgotten is how frustrating it can be when you are always having to chase for an answer or update. This never happened with Jonny. He always reacted promptly and it’s such a change to have someone do what they say and say what they do. It was clear from the start that I had no clue what was going to be required and thankfully Jonny took on the responsibility of seeing the project all the way through including liaising with and managing the Building Control Team as well as the structural engineer – something I would never have been able to do. Overall, working with Jonny is very easy, he is always reassuring, thoughtful, responsive, and really wants to understand how a project should look and feel at the end, not just making it about a series of drawings on paper. A lovely chap, a true gent and outstanding at what he does.Thank you, Jonny!

Firstly, Jonathan is a very approachable individual, from start to end very professional in his manner. We needed Jonathan’s help with a “change of use” for a property in Leicester, it was a large house with a shop attached, the shop was listed as commercial, and the house residential, in order to sell as one, and for someone to get a standard mortgage on the property, it all had to be listed as residential. He assisted with completing the planning application and making sure there were no issue for submitting to local authority, he did the detailed drawings of the property to the required Scales that are needed by local authority, something we could not achieve ourselves, Once submitted we were pleased that the application was approved, he was aware of our strict time lines and was able to accommodate us, and all for a very reasonable price.Thank you, You’ve removed the obstacle that was preventing us from completing the sale of this property.

JBA Ltd, Mr. Bradbury was efficient, patient, informative and approachable. He was always available to answer any question via phone or on site. I would recommend him highly for his professionalism and hard work.

We’d been looking into the idea of extending our house and JB Architecture came highly recommended. We’d contacted Jonathan to explain our proposal to which he’d scheduled an appointment to visit us and discuss our requirements in further detail. This included proposals such as what changes were possible in terms of structural and layout changes and what proposals would work best for us.We didn’t have the expertise to understand the structural requirements, however we had a few proposals in mind. Jonathan did a great job with the proposed plans, as he gave us a few options whilst incorporating our vision. We felt he really understood what our aim was and he’d captured this including the minor details.Any questions we had, he answered them in a timely manor and he also put us into contact with various persons/companies, such as a recommended structural engineer and Severn Trent Water, whilst also liaising with our local District Council through the planning process.We’re really pleased with the service provided by JB Architecture from start to finish and we’d highly recommend them without any hesitation.

Jonathan did the drawings for a double story extension and new internal layout for our family home. His ideas where fantastic! 18 months in we couldn’t be happier with our home.Very speedy with sending the new plans. He went above and beyond for us helping to overcome a large pipe in the footing process as well.

Brilliant service.By the time Johnathan came to us we’d almost given up on our ideas. He came and measured and produced draft drawings that were exactly how we’d imagined. Over the following months things changed but nothing was too much trouble to accommodate. We now have professional detailed drawings and planning permission that our builder has complimented us on so much.Along with his professionalism Johnathan is polite, patient and able to explain things in easy terms.We’d highly recommend him to anyone.

I used JB Architects to draft up some design ideas for my ground floor extension which then led to really cool renders showing us how the space would work. Once we agreed the concept, Jonathan prepared all our planning permission docs and drawings and we got it passed with flying colours :) He then gave us a full set of drawings and liaised with and advised us regarding builders. First class service highly recommended

Really happy with the service Jonathan provided. We needed plans drawing up for an extension to our property, Jonathan came out and we had the drawings within days both by email and printed copies. There were a couple of amendments which he did. Communication was great and I would recommend Jonathan as he provided a first class service
