“Fiona was invaluable for our project. The contractors she recommended and then managed provided us with finished work to a very high standard and within schedule. She was fully involved from the early days of architects and planning through to construction and completion. She was available to us not just to advise with planning but also with purchasing ideas and the decor. We are delighted with the final finish on the house.”
- Alex & Patrick M, Battersea Town House
“We have had such positive feedback from clients of ours Fiona has looked after. Easy to get on with, reliable, professional and experienced. She has an incredibly strong track record of securing planning permission against the odds and adding significant value to the properties she redevelops.”
- Mayow Short, Head of Residential, Savills
“Our experience with Queensdale Residential has been outstanding. The service we have received has been of exceptional standard. The entire process from start to finish was seamless, allowing us to sit back and relax, knowing that we were in safe hands. Every small detail of the project was taken into account and dealt with both professionally and promptly. We would highly recommend their services.”
- Anjali & Neel, Sispara Gardens
“We were so pleased to have engaged Fiona and Queensdale to undertake a complete refurbishment of our flat in Chelsea. Fiona managed the project from start to finish; brought it in on time and to budget; sourced and co-ordinated her trusted suppliers and specialists to do the work, while being in constant touch with us to let us know how things were progressing and checking we were happy.”
- Camilla & Garon, Oakley Street
“We always ask Fiona and her team at Queensdale to advise when we are looking at a move or undertaking building work. She is incredibly helpful and, because she has done so many of her own houses over the years, she is able to relate to the pressures it puts on a family. Perhaps that is what really makes what she does for her clients.”
- Caroline & Alexander R
“Fiona has a unique understanding of the varying challenges involved in a building project. She maintains her sense of humour and perspective throughout which keeps us all sane. I have recommended her and her team to all our friends.”
- Charlotte & James M
“Working with Fiona was a dream. I had a nightmare with planning and neighbours from hell (which is why I brought her on board!) but the actual build was a breeze and everything came in on time and in budget.”
- Harriet O, Atherton Street
“Queensdale helped us with the full refurbishment of our family home. This included a new kitchen, installation of underfloor heating, new flooring, a new bathroom, removal of an internal wall, reconfiguring 2 bedrooms and complete redecoration. We benefitted from their extensive network of contacts and suppliers. We are so happy with the final result, which was delivered to a high standard, on time and within budget. One year on and we have had zero issues with any of the work carried out. Queensdale were a pleasure to work with and we would definitely work with them again on any future projects.”
- Kirsty M, Battersea High St
“Fiona turned a formerly difficult and stressful basement project into a breeze with her excellent knowledge of the industry, fabulous organisational skills and her superb contacts list of trustworthy, reliable professionals. Everything was finished to my satisfaction and she has been brilliant throughout.”
- Melanie J, Wakehurst Road
“We commissioned Queensdale for a rebuild and refurbishment task on a five bedroom, 8-level property overlooking Clapham Common. Their advice and ideas through the planning stage and the experience they brought to the scoping task was exceptional.”
- Roslyn S, Wandsworth Road
“Queensdale oversaw every aspect of the refurbishment of my flat in Wandsworth from assessing the level of work required and the nature of the (dampness) issues we were encountering to sourcing design and decorating teams, scoping and budgeting the project, purchasing all materials and managing the project end-to-end. It was a relief to be able to pass the job over fully and to see it completed on time and budget while still having regular touch points to input where I desired.”
- Roslyn S, London Town House
“Disaster struck on March 1st, 2020 when our family home of 52 years suffered what was in insurance terms, a catastrophic fire. Amazingly, after a year in rented accommodation, and during three lockdowns, we moved back on March 19th, 2021 into a totally renovated house. Thanks to Fiona, already a family friend, and her team of architects, surveyors, builders and suppliers, what could have been a traumatic process was made easy, and even fun at times!”
- Sally O, Albert Bridge Road
“I think what we all need when we are renovating houses is someone like-minded, experienced and unflappable to hold our hands. That way the experience is a positive one rather than a completely overwhelming stress from start to finish! Every time we needed something or had an idea, all we had to do was pick up the phone. Fiona was a real pleasure to work with and her ‘little black book’ has saved us a fortune.”
- Sophie L, Hobury St, Wetherby Gardens, Soudan Road
“Fiona managed a residential project for us in Battersea which involved a basement, side and loft extension and subsequent full fit out. From start to finish, the project took a year. Fiona helped us every step of the way. Our biggest fear was builders walking out, or for our inexperience in planning to leave us exposed. With Fiona’s help, this risk was reduced to as close to zero as possible. Some days I would see twenty plus emails from Fiona, who coordinated the necessary parties. I also think we saved money using some of her contacts for the fit out.”
- William & Rosie, Orbel Street
