 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used Kieran at Melrose designs for the design of a double storey side extension and single storey rear extension on an end plot in Winstanley, Wigan. Kieran has vast experience in this field and has been extremely competent, attentive and supportive throughout the design, planning permission process, and subsequent building control process. Melrose Designs have been a very reasonable price for the services they offer and I would highly recommend Kieran to anybody looking to extend their existing property.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding service. Amazing price, reliable, top communication skills and from our extension drawings that Kieran did we were told from a builder who had been doing the trade for over 20 years , that they were the best drawings he had ever seen. Definitely recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service from start to finish

I couldn’t recommend Keiran from Melrose Designs highly enough. From the initial plans right through to dealing with the planning process, he was professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful.

He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted to achieve with our renovation and was able to turn our ideas into clear, practical plans. Whenever we had questions or came across issues, he was always quick to respond and explain things clearly.

The whole process was made much easier knowing we had someone experienced on our side, particularly when dealing with planning requirements and making changes along the way.

We’re extremely happy with the service and the end result. If you’re looking for an architect who is reliable, approachable and genuinely cares about getting the job right, I’d definitely recommend Keiran and Melrose Designs.

FAQ's

How does it all work?

We kick things off with a friendly consultation. This is your chance to share your ideas, goals, and preferences. Drawing from our extensive experience, we’ll suggest creative directions tailored to your vision. Next, we develop an initial concept and present draft plans for your feedback. You’ll have the opportunity to refine and adjust the design until it’s exactly how you imagined.

What’s the usual timeframe ?

Project timelines vary depending on complexity, but we aim to visit your property within a few days of your inquiry. You can expect to receive your first draft plans within approximately two weeks.

Construction can sometimes begin within a few weeks, though more detailed projects may take up to four months to reach the build stage.

Are you familiar with local council procedures?

Definitely. With over 15 years of working closely with councils across the North West, we’ve developed strong relationships and a deep understanding of local planning policies — helping your application move smoothly through the approval process.

Can you help with planning applications?

Yes, we take care of the entire planning application process for you. From preparing the paperwork to liaising with the council, we act as your agent to ensure everything is submitted correctly and efficiently.

Do you offer 3D visualisations of designs?

We do! Using advanced design software, we create realistic 3D renderings that give you a clear picture of your future space — helping you make confident decisions before construction begins.

Yes, we have a network of trusted contractors we’ve worked with across various areas. We’re happy to connect you with reputable builders and assist in gathering quotes to suit your project.
