Claro Design and Build

I love our loft conversion, Rick and his team built it exactly the way we wanted and advised at every step of the way. His knowledge was invaluable as I had no prior experience and the end result is a great space with a high end finish that I love spending time in.

Rick and the Claro team built me a fantastic garden office in 2015. I run a business from home and wanted to keep work life very separate from home - but not far to reach. Rick instinctively understood my desire for high-quality materials and careful planning. This led to a functional, stylish construction that provides usable, natural space all-year-round. It was hugely important to respect a mature Acer tree that was there long before I was - this was totally understood and observed. The resulting building blends beautifully into its surroundings, looks amazing and is a joy to work from. The tree has remained happy and the neighbours love the end result as much as I do. Rick brought a valuable blend of skills - experience, project management, contemporary design knowledge, a friendly and capable team with genuine care for their craft. I am happy to recommend the services of Claro to all who are looking to maximise their space with a beautiful outcome.

Rick and Mark took care of all aspects of our kitchen refit and left us with a light, beautiful, and totally practical space. When it came to design, they worked collaboratively with us to make our ideas reality – guiding us when we weren't sure and advising us when we were. Though they bring a full range of expertise, their technical skills are matched by a strong sense of design: their knowledge of materials and understanding of home ergonomics meant that they were able to come up with great-looking design solutions to suit our space and lifestyle. They also care about details! Rick and Mark listened to our everyday needs and wants, and built us a kitchen where everything is in the right place – and looking good too. Rick and Mark are a brilliant team and have exacting work standards and a positive approach that were both educational and fun to be around.

I would like to highly recommend Rick who project managed my house extension. Over the time he proved himself to be trustworthy, approachable, with all works finished to a high specification. He also was very efficient at returning to help repair any snags after work s were finished.
