K. W. Dorrington aims to provide the client with the best and honest advice on all aspects of improvements to your property, and at a competitive rate.

Being Chartered is important; it shows the client that you professional, qualified, insured and carry out regular CPD Training sessions to ensure that you are up to date with industry changes.
Our service includes far more than just the advise and preparation of the plans. Knowledge and experience cannot be underestimated in this line of work. Our service always includes the application submissions. We act as your agent – any queries are made to K. W. Dorrington. We monitor the applications and liaise with the relevant authority to ensure an efficient determination of the application. We act as your agent for the Planning and Building Control approval stages, but also the less usual such as Water Authority applications and Land Registry details if required.
Our site surveys are carried out to enable us to prepare the necessary but also to anticipate any future challenges – such as constraints, drain locations and boundary issues etc. Our considerable construction experience allows us to offer expert knowledge that isn’t just limited to the architectural aspect. This is particularly of use to developers in the private rented sector.
We treat every project as unique, and draw on our considerable experience to help ensure that the overall project is delivered to your expectations.
Every project is client led with the brief being discussed, agreed and tailored to your individual needs. We have carried over two thousand projects over the last 36 years. We are proud that a large proportion of our work is derived from recommendation and returning clients.
K. W. Dorrington offers honest advise. If we feel that the proposal isn’t viable, achievable or may not provide for your requirements we will tell you.
Our service is not just the preparation of the plans, if there are issues on site – we will attend site to assist. We will liaise with third parties as needed. I enjoy visiting site, some designers enjoy visiting site less so!
