I used the one-off advice service provided by Jacqueline from Teggin and Greene for ideas on how to reconfigure my kitchen and utility rooms. I’ve had a few professionals round and she was the most imaginative and helpful. She drew up 3 options very quickly with a rough total cost estimate for each. I was very impressed.

Re: Architect recommendation wanted.
We had a good experience of Jaqui, from Green and Teggin. We used her service at the very early stages of planning our kitchen rebuild. She is knowledgeable and professional but very personable. Although in the end we had to scale things down and didn’t fully go with her more ambitious design, her input and the advice she gave us helped crystallize our ideas. We are pleased with the result, were grateful to her for her work and would certainly recommend her.

Re: Architect recommendation wanted.
Another recommendation for Jacqueline at Green and Teggin. We are in the first throes of working with her but already I feel assured that we made the right choice. Nothing is too much trouble and J obviously has a genuine love for what she does.

I’d recommend Green and Teggin who are local. They’ve done a great job helping us realise our ideas through their inspiration and practical expertise. Really easy to work with and a good price.

I can also recommend Green and Teggin.
Jacqueline provided my wife and I with invaluable strategic advice about a proposed loft conversion project to our flat in Brockley. She is creative, professional and a pleasure to work with. Quite simply, she saved us from making a big (and costly) mistake, and for that we are very grateful! I have already passed her details on to other friends in the area and would happily do so again.

Dear Jacqueline
Thanks for all your advice, it was really illuminating to look at things in a different way, and well worth the cost in my opinion.
Many thanks.

Client: Castle Farm Workshops
My project was to convert an old farm building into a modern, energy efficient office, with integral toilets and other associated facilities. When I approached Tom I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted in my own mind, but needed that professional input to develop the detailed design and draw up full specifications that met current regulations, as well as my own requirements. After a site visit and design discussions, Tom prepared all the necessary plans, elevations and working drawings, then obtained building regulations and drew up a schedule of works ready to go out to tender.
Green & Teggin listened to what I wanted, talked through various options and once the design was agreed, delivered all that I needed to allow the project to proceed. The final result is an aesthetically pleasing and functional rural office that I am proud of.

Hi, I’d just like to say that for a very reasonable fee Jackie really helped us out with plans for our house. We are doing a loft conversion and knocking a wall though and Jackie made invaluable suggestions to improve/change our plans where necessary. Getting an expert eye just for a couple of hours has meant we now will have a much better house layout and design. We would recommend her to anyone considering domestic improvements to their property.
• 23rd September 2010
We used Jacqui’s ideas session to help us come up with ideas, and it was certainly worth it, we have a new vision of what we want to do as a result. Happy to recommend her to others.
• 20 August 2010
I just wanted to say that we have used Jaqui’s services already and she has done a brilliant job. She drew plans and put together a planning application for our rear extension. She has a wonderful manner and is efficient, honest and helpful. She understands our needs and offers advice where it would be helpful (whilst not pressing her ideas upon us). She seems to be one of those people who genuinely loves her job and thrives on going above the call of duty. I am sure that word of mouth will spread fast, and Green & Teggin deserve it.

Another satisfied customer for Jackie’s services.
We are planning a kitchen extension and she helped us think through options, and even drew us some plans on the spot in enough detail to help us visualise the impact of each.
All this provided at a very reasonable cost, and in a very open, friendly and helpful manner. I’d recommend Jackie as a first port of call for anyone thinking about undertaking building work on their house.

The brief was to design a family home for a very awkward space with various other specifications. Jacqueline and Tom were lovely to work with and took a real interest in the job. First we worked more with Jacqueline. She listened carefully to all our requirements and produced a stream of architectural drawings responding to our feedback and interpreting our comments in a sensitive and creative way. While the project was developed initially from our ideas they worked very creatively with these bringing their own ideas to it, thus greatly improving it, and coming up with ingenious solutions to particular problems.
At all points they made sure that we took cost into consideration – drawing our attention to decisions which would have significant implications for our budget. They were always very open to discussion and would help us to explore our ideas from different angles and draw our attention to the different issues involved. They understood our concerns and were happy to engage with them. Once at a meeting when I wasn’t sure what a particular feature would look like, Jacqueline sat and drew a three dimensional view of the room in proportion which showed very clearly how it would look.
We were pleased not only with the way in which they dealt with a very awkward space in terms of layout of rooms but also with the overall appearance producing a design which was just what we had wanted to achieve. Tom and Jacqueline also seem to work together really well bringing different element s to the project. We really enjoyed the process of designing the house but the project is on hold whilst we consider our options from a financial point of view. They were fantastic to work with and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Client for: 441 New Cross Road.
Green and Teggin were the first architect firm we had worked with, and we needed to navigate planning and works for our four storey commercial building. As we knew very little about the process, their professional and empathetic approach helped us to successfully gain the planning permission we needed. Reasonably priced, available whenever we needed, and willing to go the extra mile to guide us, I would highly recommend their services.

Green & Teggin have provided us with very useful advice for several years on a wide range of issues from conservation and general maintenance, conversions and refurbishments (residential and commercial space) to long term and strategic advice and planning regarding the Quadrangle Trust’s properties and land.
They have proved themselves to be highly flexible and adaptable consultants, acting as lead consultants in a number of successful projects. They are highly competent and share our values. I would highly recommend them.

Client for: 28 Horsford Rd.
When we were looking for an architect to help with an extension, I found Green and Teggin through the EDF (the Brixton equivalent is not nearly so good!), so I am really pleased to be able to come back and recommend them to others, as our new room is nearly finished. They are an excellent team – Jacqueline came up with lots of initial ideas, and did the drawings and planning and Tom then took over and has been tenacious in dealing with the builders and sorting out any problems. We hadn’t had anything like this done before, so particularly appreciated the way Tom took time to explain things and replied quickly to any questions as the work progressed. We are thrilled with the results.

I would highly recommend Green and Teggin. They designed a beautiful kitchen extension for us to replace the rather grim one we originally had.

Re: Recommendation for architect wanted.
Another recommendation for Green and Teggin. Jacqueline was brilliant at getting our (somewhat tricky) plans through Southwark Council. She’s a first rate architect, knows the area well and has built a good relationship with the planning team at the Council. If you want more info please feel free to pm me.

I would highly recommend Green and Teggin. They are a local husband and wife team and have designed a beautiful rear extension for us.

Highly recommended: Green & Teggin architects.
I have briefly mentioned Green and Teggin elsewhere on the forum but having worked with them for a number of months now I really think they deserve a thread of their own. Jacqueline (one half of the husband/wife team) has been absolutely superlative in her commitment to our project. She’s guided us through initial designs, planning applications and revised drawings with aplomb. In particular she’s come up with some brilliant ideas to make the most of every last inch of space in our new bedroom design. I found her to be super approachable and she listened to my ideas but also had plenty of her own. I am a very happy customer indeed.

Re: Architect recommendation wanted.
Another recommendation for Green and Teggin. We had a very useful 2 hour consultation with Jacqueline. She came up with lots of original ideas to improve our small living space and gave us much more than we were expecting in the limited time. We have not yet decided how to proceed, but wouldn’t hesitate to use them for our future plans.
