YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Transform your existing space with thoughtful, design-led renovations that enhance both form and function. At John Allan Architectural Design, we specialise in breathing new life into homes—whether it’s reconfiguring layouts, improving natural light, or modernising period properties while preserving their character. Our interior renovation services are tailored to your lifestyle and vision, ensuring every detail supports how you live and use your space. We also consider structural integrity, energy efficiency, and long-term value, helping you make smart choices that benefit your home for years to come. From initial concepts to planning and technical drawings, we guide you through each stage with clarity and creativity. We proudly serve clients across Wigan, Edinburgh, Warrington, St Helens, and the wider North West region.
Tailored House Extensions And Structural Alterations
From seamless house extensions to internal alterations such as chimney removals, wall removals, and widening openings, every project begins with a focus on functionality and compliance. Our designs ensure that new spaces blend naturally with existing layouts, creating practical solutions that improve both lifestyle and property value. With an emphasis on precision and affordability, we work with you to achieve results that balance aesthetics with practical demands.

Surveys, Concept Designs, And Cost Management
Accurate planning starts with detailed surveys, gathering the essential data needed to design and deliver effective renovations or extensions. Multiple outline concepts are developed in collaboration with you and refined until the ideal solution is reached. To keep your scheme financially viable, budget checks are carried out during the design stage, helping avoid unexpected costs later on. Our measured approach ensures a balance between aspirations and affordability right from the outset.
Planning Applications, Warrants, And Compliance
Dealing with local authority requirements can be complex, but we handle all planning applications and building warrant submissions, ensuring a smooth and compliant process. Should minor changes arise during construction, warrant amendments are prepared quickly to avoid disruption. Once works are complete, completion certificate applications are managed on your behalf, providing peace of mind that regulations have been fully satisfied, and your project meets all necessary standards.
