“Distinctive Living were engaged to refurbish my central London, mansion building, apartment by knocking out the kitchen wall and turning the area into a brand new open living space; they did a superb job. Every aspect of the project was tightly controlled, well communicated and carefully thought through. They have transformed the flat and did so within the time frame and within the budget. It's highly unlikely that one would find another such company in London.”– J.H.   W1

“As a landlord living overseas, it is very important to me to have someone able to deal with any issues with my tenants or property swiftly and professionally. I turned to Distinctive Living having been disappointed with the service I received from a well known real estate/lettings agent and it is a move with which I have been delighted. Having been let for a number of years, my property was in need of some attention. Amanda provided me with a competitive quote for the work and the whole job, including painting of walls and woodwork as well as a section of wall which needed to be re-plastered was completed within the week. As I would not be back in the country for some time, Amanda provided me with photographs of the completed work which was of a very high standard and the property was rented again within a very short time. Since letting the property, Distinctive Living has continued to provide an excellent service for me. Any questions I have are responded to quickly and I feel that both my tenants and myself are receiving a highly professional and personal service. I trust Amanda's judgment I dealing with issues as they arise and in ensuring the continued maintenance of the property.”– C.M, W6

Amanda Grant carefully and with skill directed all the stages of the build so we didn't have to worry about a thing. She kept in contact and obviously knew what she was doing. And all at a very reasonable price. We need more of her kind in the building world.”– Glenn Goodey, W14

“Amanda was recommended to me by a local estate agency and I have not regretted, for one moment, my decision in asking her to project manage the conversion of my two-bedroomed house in Chiswick to a three-bedroomed palace! I live and work in the South, and without Amanda's professionalism, patience, intelligence and creative imagination, plus the great team she put together to implement the works, I would probably need to have been sectioned! Not only was the project completed on time, but also within a tight budget. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”–  Victoria Garratt, W4

“They did a spectacular overhaul of my bathroom. The wallpapering was exceptional - in fact the workmanship throughout was highly impressive. They're also considerate, careful about mess and great at talking through ideas. Annoyingly my bathroom looks so good now that I'm going to have to consider upgrading the rest of the flat.”– M.B, SW3

“Distinctive Living has always been reliable, efficient and very high standard always delivering on time and within the budget, work always done with courtesy and good nature.”– Jinnie Chalton Designs, W14
