Happy Clients

We are delighted with our beautiful new windows and doors and the perfect rendering. The transformation from ugly old shop front to elegant home is quite remarkable and has been roundly praised by neighbours and passing tourists alike. Simon and his team skilfully managed the difficult access to the property and minimised the disruption to this tourist-popular area. The whole experience was stress free from beginning to end and completed well ahead of schedule. Then finally to bring in a professional cleaner to make the place spick and span just put the icing on the cake.

Simon and his team have now completed our new kitchen. It looks amazing! They took down a load bearing wall which has made a previously dark room light and spacious and has made a massive difference. Simon did everything that he said he would do and more, even making 2 shelves out of leftover worktops. I would definitely recommend Wrenwood Renovations and would have no hesitation in using them again.

I was very impressed by Simon and his team, he gave me an accurate estimate and covered every detail of the job. The team were here by 8 o’clock every morning and worked incredibly hard during each day right through to 4.30. We are over the moon with the results and the amount of light and extra space we now have! I’d definitely recommend Wrenwood Renovations to anyone and if we decide to carry out any further improvements, will ask them to do the job!

The conversion that you carried out on Threshers Barn is simply delightful and has been much admired by our many friends. The thoughts and ideas that you put into the design were outstanding and we are very pleased that you were able to incorporate our various needs with such complete success. The fact that we were living 200 miles away during the conversion says much for your ability to liaise with the client so that the twelve month project was completed exactly on schedule, to a superb quality standard and to budget. We are delighted with the result and very happy in our new home.

We have seen the work Simon has done restoring his houses and have had work done for us in our home and have found it to be of the highest quality with a very good finish. He is easy to work with from conception to completion. Simon and his wife work as the team Melanie is very talented in design and her suggestions with Simon’s expertise produce a very good finished article.

Simon has built a house for our family to the highest specification. He worked on the site continuously until the work was finished. Simon was at all-times polite and professional. His workmanship is of Craftsman standard. I can highly recommend Simon Osborne for any job connected to the building trade.

- Elizabeth Gibson

I hired Simon and his team as a result of his positive response from this site.
A visit to view the work and tightly working conditions was promptly followed by a quote and subsequent email discussions (as I was busy at work) to confirm one or two items, all of which had positive outcomes for me.

He sourced the electrician to carry out the electrical work so I didn’t have to think about this.

On the day they were due to start everyone turned up at 08.30 on the dot and instantly started to get to work.

Everyone worked cohesively, which lead to a lot getting done in a very short space of time and nothing was a problem and to quote Jay a member of the team “Everything is possible”.

Every item I had requested as part of the work was remembered! carried out and even additional thought was offered to me on how to do something to get a better finish or end result. I couldn’t be happier with the end result and the time & cost it took the team to complete the work.

I now have a fabulous new kitchen based on a design I put together and Simon ensure was delivered to the highest standard.

If you’re looking for a quality job, Simon is definitely someone I would suggest you contact.

Worth mentioning I did ask for references, all of which came back with the feedback I have given here.

Thanks to Simon and his team for a great experience on something I was expecting to be more arduous than it actually was. Excellent work.

Well cottage was a tiny, two up two down, farm worker’s cottage built of cob and stone and converted some 200 years ago from a thatched barn.

We completely renovated the cottage and built an extension.

This included re-slating the roof with its existing rag slates and managing to source enough to complete the extension. We replaced the windows and doors and opened up the original fireplace. Well Cottage became a delightful, four-bedroom family home with a large farmhouse kitchen.

Valiant was an old Methodist Chapel with an attached old schoolhouse converted in the 60s to provide single storey accommodation.

When we first saw it, it was painted bright egg yellow and was very unpopular with local residents!

The conversion was in a dilapidated state and it was agreed to convert the chapel section into a two-storey dwelling (as there was plenty of headroom) and the schoolroom into a vaulted kitchen with minstrel gallery.

The renovation and conversion took nine months and when complete resulted in a stunning four-bedroom, four-ensuite country home with a large sitting room/conservatory and a big farmhouse kitchen with Aga.

Painted off-white, it was a delightful conversion that was admired by the local residents who no longer saw it as an eyesore.

Apple barn was a small, listed, painted brick-built barn set in a valley location still housing the original stables, hayrick and apple store.

When we were shown the proposed conversion plans the clients were not completely happy, so we discussed alternative ideas with them and they ended up choosing an amalgamation of both the original ideas and our new ones.

An extension and conversion were proposed and because of the building’s position it was decided to create the living accommodation upstairs and the bedrooms downstairs.

Apple barn became a beautiful five- bedroom house laden with character with a stunning, three-aspect kitchen with vaulted ceiling and a sitting room with a magnificent, exposed, timber-boarded, vaulted ceiling.

The conversion and extension were a great success and subsequently a large double garage and workshop, built of the same materials, was added.

Situated overlooking a beautiful Devon valley, Threshers barn was an old stone-threshing barn with a roundhouse attached housing sheep.

Our clients had seen a couple of our other conversions and wanted us to create a similar conversion for their retirement.

Knowing and having seen what we were capable of creating, they gave us free rein to design a spacious four-bedroom house to their specifications.

Our clients lived over 200 miles away but good communications via phone and email meant the project was never delayed and finished on time.

The once-dilapidated barn was transformed into a fantastic new home filled with character: bespoke stairs and balcony, solid wood doors, wood kitchen, Aga, and a stunning, light-filled conservatory.

To complement the barn, we also designed and built a double garage with workshop and storage. Our clients were truly delighted and have since developed an equally delightful garden around the property.
