What People Are Saying
Exceptional service, exceptional value
"Peek Home produced two sets of really interesting and different plans (exactly as we requested), which brought our initial thoughts on the project to life. Coupled with their expert input, the options presented have enabled us to focus our minds on what we now want to achieve, saving both time and money in formally moving the project forward. It is a very small fee for such a highly professional service. Thoroughly recommend as a first step if you are contemplating changes to your home."
Our space brought to life
"We’ve played around with extending our home for quite some time & had many ideas of how it may work and fulfil everything we wanted and required it to do so. The designs that Peek provided have given us much to think about as we go forward in making our dream a reality. The walk through video and voice over provided was invaluable to us and has been a highlight of the overall excellent service that we have received from Roland and the team."
Amazing value for money. Highly recommend!
“The Peek Home process was easy from start to finish. Joseph listened to our ambitions but designed the spaces in a way that we never would have thought of. It's incredible seeing our future home in 3D and has reassured us to go a head with our extension to the rear of the house. I would highly recommended Peek Homes to anyone before spending a vast amount of money on home improvements. Fantastic value and fantastic service. Thank you.”
Excellent Service
"We've really enjoyed the experience with Peek. The survey was ready to complete and it was good to be able to upload photos, dimensions etc..of our house. The design met our requirements and has given us plenty to think about. Some elements of the design are more than we ever could have thought of. We particularly enjoyed the walk-through video describing the design and the thought behind it We'd definitely recommend Peek to anyone looking for design ideas & help with house plans."
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you differ from an architect?
We act as "pre-architects". Our team of experienced architectural designers create 3D concept designs (based on your budget and ambitions) to help you visualise your ideas and the potential for your home in the early stages.
You can then make that vision a reality, using our ‘one click’ referral button to get quotes from our trusted partner architects based on your Peek Home design, they will be able to provide detailed drawings (suitable for planning submissions and construction etc).
What are the benefits of "pre-architect"?
Cost & Speed > We are the affordable starting point for your ideas. By using our pre-architect design service, you can test the waters without the higher price tag, and we're quick! Plans are available in as little as three days.
Clarity > In addition to 2D floor plans, we create 3D visuals to help you really get a feel for the design.
Choice > Our price point allows you to explore other options. We offer one free design revision, and our very affordable Additional Design add-on gives you plenty of flexibility.
Consideration > Our service allows you breathing space. You haven't committed to the project, and you'll have time to consider all your options. Once you're ready, our easy 'one click' referral button helps connect you with architects.
Will I still need an architect?
This depends on the complexity of your project, in most cases you will still need an architect (or similar) to create detailed drawings for things like planning permission and construction details. In this situation we have our simple ‘one click’ referral button to get quotes from our trusted partner architects based on your Peek Home design.
Can you help with the next stage of my project?
Yes! Once you have completed the Peek Home process and are happy with your design, our ‘one click’ referral button seamlessly guides you to the next step. Just one click and you'll be connected with our network of trusted partner architects. They'll receive your Peek Home design and provide quotes for detailed drawings suitable for planning submissions, construction, and more.
Can I take your drawings straight to a builder?
In short, it depends on the complexity of the design. Some simpler designs may be possible for your builder to work from, although we'd always advise them to take their own measurements on site.
For more complex designs, our ‘one click’ referral button seamlessly sends your Peek Home design to our partnered architects so that they can send you personalised quotes for drawings suitable for construction and planning permission etc
Do you do all types of houses and extensions?
Yes! We work with all types of home, from 1930's semi-detached to grand detached Georgian villas and all extensions types from single storey, double storey, loft conversion and bungalow extensions.
How do you draw up my home without seeing it?
We will use publicly available data like Rightmove listings, Google Maps and previous Planning Permission submissions. This is usually enough to get us to the level of detail that we need (we aim for ~80% accuracy) but we may need to ask for the odd photo or measurement from you.
Why do you charge by house size?
House size is commonly measured in number of bedrooms, the bigger the house, the more work it takes for us to draw it up. We need to draw up the whole house to help us understand the structural layout and bathroom services as these may affect any home alterations.
Can you provide Planning Permission, Building Control or Construction Drawings?
Peek Plans are an affordable and quick starting point for you to visualise your building project to give you inspiration and an informed view on what's possible with your home and budget. As we are online only your drawings won't be accurate enough for the above, we aim for ~80% accuracy.
How quickly can I get my Peek Plans?
We have a range of shipping options available:
15 Working Day Email Delivery - FREE
10 Working Day Email Delivery - £49
5 Working Day Email Delivery - £99
3 Working Day Email Delivery - £199
I only want the ground floor designing, how much is that?
We need to draw up the whole house to help us understand the structural layout and bathroom services as these may affect any home alterations.
House size is commonly measured in number of bedrooms, the bigger the house, the more work it takes for us to draw it up. Therefore the price would be for the amount of bedrooms your existing home has.
Can I see different options for my House Design?
As part of the service included with your House Design, we will ask you to confirm your budget and ambitions. We use this information to design your bespoke Peek Plan according to your individual requirements.
Should you wish to make any amendments or see an alternative layout using the same budget and/or ambitions - we will happily provide you with one free revision.
If you would like to see a design using a different budget or set of ambitions, you can purchase an Alternative House Design at a discounted price, or if you have two ideas in mind and want to explore both you can purchase a bundle for even more savings.
What’s included in my one free revision?
We don’t always get it right first time, which is why we offer one free revision with every House Design.
Your free revision allows you to make adjustments to your Peek Plan within your initial set of ambitions and budget.
If you would like to make changes outside of your initial ambitions and budget you can purchase an Alternative House Design.
