“The Diocese of London has over 1000 Churches and Vicarages covering 277 square miles of Greater London north of the Thames, including the Cities of Westminster and London.  As Manager for the repair and upkeep of these important buildings, I have no hesitation in recommending Coles Conservation Architects who have the requisite skill, understanding and specialist training.”

— Nick Leach, Repairs Manager, Diocese of London 

“Andrew was the lead Architect in a major restoration project of the Grade II* listed buildings at Dulwich College. The project required a high degree of knowledge, considerable flexibility and skill working in a ‘live’ building, delivered over several consecutive phases in a busy educational establishment. His professionalism, attention to detail and ability to understand and incorporate the client’s needs with the demands of a complex historical building was exemplary. He was deeply conscientious in his research and his personal style and approach played a significant role in the harmony of the large team delivering this highly successful project. I would recommend him unreservedly for similar future projects.”

— Simon Yiend, Chief Operating Officer - Dulwich College

“PAYE Stonework and Restoration have worked with Andrew Coles on several prestigious historic building contracts over the past 12 years including Kew gates, 19-33 Liverpool Street, Dulwich College, and Smithfield Market.  Andrew and his team bring a pragmatic approach to building conservation that is underpinned by a depth of experience and knowledge. With strong leadership capabilities and a progressive approach, I am in no doubt that Coles Conservation Architects will enjoy great success in their specialist field.”
