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 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
Sue Dyer
I'd like to thank Leanne and her team at House Gecko for all the hard work they have put into helping us throughout the process of drawing up our design, submitting our drawings and dealing with all the other things that come with it.
They have made the process so easy and seamless. Even after we had our approval they continued to help with any queries we had during the early stages of the build.
Leanne has a very friendly/bubbly personality and is so easy to talk too. Thank you for everything.
Emily
Guided us through the whole process from start to finish. Would highly recommend. Thanks :)
Robin Dixon
Leanne has transformed my own home into something really special with her flare for design and attention to detail is second to none. She can handle the plans and building control side of my projects which takes a lot of the stress out of the development and allows me to progress with my projects. I can’t thank Leanne enough and will be working with her very soon on my next project.
Richard Thornton
The team are very knowledgeable and their openness and direct methods helped us feel at ease and assured throughout the whole process. Thank You
Lee Thomas
House Gecko managed our project from start to finish, leaving us the time to enjoy the best bits. Leanne fully encompassed our sometimes-whacky design ideas whilst also giving us the benefit of her own innovative and creative expertise.
Despite 'challenging times’ including several major storms, the wettest weather on record, oh and a global pandemic, the project was interesting, exiting, and fun, with lots of laughs along the way. Highest praise for a really professional service brought in on an agreed tight budget. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company to bring your vision and aspirations to life.
Dave Shew aka 'Dave the builder’ has been fantastic. Contributing to practical design decisions, workmanship of the highest standard and altogether an all-round great bloke. We couldn’t have wished for a more fabulous space to spend lots of time in.
Elaine Harper
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Leanne. Nothing was ever too much trouble I could ask as many questions, change my mind and generally have such confidence and support from her and her team. Leanne I want you to know that I love every inch of the extension. My art area is brilliant, the light is amazing and the cats cope amazingly with their bespoke cat flap….even though they only use it when I’m not around. I would highly recommend Leanne and House Gecko for anyone thinking of proceeding with an extension.
Jane Pritchard
It was a nervous time for us but Leanne helped us through and the final outcome is worth all of the upheaval that we experienced, and we have no hesitation in recommending House Gecko to anyone contemplating undertaking a new build or alterations to an existing property.

They have made the process so easy and seamless. Even after we had our approval they continued to help with any queries we had during the early stages of the build.
If needed in the future, we will definitely be using House Gecko again, suffice to say we would highly recommend them to anyone.
Leanne has a very friendly/bubbly personality and is so easy to talk too. Thank you for everything.
Emily Purslow
helping to get the plans through unlike a lot of businesses it really felt like these guys cared about the project and had my best interests at heart!
Peter Stephenson
Professional company, great advice and inspiration for designing our ideal extension! Great ideas and very good knowledge of local procedural requirements.
Lizanne Shew
We used Leanne at House Gecko to design our single storey extension and remodel the back of our house. She was great, came up with a number of ideas and plans for us to choose from and made the whole process really easy.
James Forrester
Our project posed many many difficulties. We required an extension to our balcony, underpinning for our balcony and an entirely new design for the balcony to be considered and designed. We also required internal modifications to be completed also. Our garden is sloped with differing levels to work with to make it even more of a complex project. I was recommended House Gecko for the architecture and interior design and all I can say, is thank goodness I was. Leanne has been an absolute dream to work with, she has listened to our needs and worked with us so effortlessly, it has been a pleasure working with her. Leanne has always been so quick to respond to my many questions, queries and she knows all the about the rules surrounding a build in a conservation area.
I would highly recommend Leanne, she has designed a fabulous balcony for us, made us think outside the box and come up with ideas we wouldn't have thought of. Thank you Leanne and I look forward to working with you again soon.
Jo Ward
She drew up plans for our office, utility and boot room and also helped us to plan out the interior. It was really useful using an architectural designer like Leanne as she was able to solve space problems in innovative ways. I would highly recommend House Gecko and will definitely be using Leanne to help with our kitchen and orangery project.
Louise
We had trouble with Shropshire Council in getting retrospective planning for our garage conversion, Leanne was brill in drawing up our plans, she was very helpful in our process which came to a satisfactory conclusion for ourselves. I would highly recommend Leannne and her team. Thanks again.
Mark & Jeanette.
Her professionalism, enthusiasm and competence both as interior designer and project manager were second to none.
