Our approach begins by understanding what you need and how you work - only then do we offer creative ideas and recommend solutions.

We normally propose a scheme covering all the requirements discussed and including an estimate of cost and timescale. During the creative stage of the work, we provide a range of options for discussion with you including colours, fabrics, furniture and so on.

We like to work closely with you at this stage to ensure that the best creative outcome is achieved. We provide documentation at each stage of work so that all parties understand exactly what has been agreed and what the stages of work will be.

During the course of the project, we ensure that we are available to closely manage the work and to keep in regular contact with you. We have an office in City Road, however we tend to recommend that most meetings with you are held on site so that work can be discussed in situ. Before commencing work, we establish with you what the budget is and how it will be allocated. Once a scheme is agreed, we ask for detailed quotes from suppliers and operate to recommended retail prices for materials.

We document all this for you and we always try to estimate total prices for project so that there are no surprise additional costs on the final bill. Any changes to estimates will always be discussed and agreed with you during the project.

We use wide range of suppliers for materials and wherever possible, we have trade accounts. We work extensively with craftspeople who are all highly skilled and reliable. They tend to be Cambridge-based and all have the relevant certificates and insurance to carry out their work.

We are able to offer access to: Curtain-making / General building / Upholstery / Lighting design / Decorating / Electrical Work / Joinery and furniture making / Building regulations / Carpet fitting / Health and safety / Signage provision / Plumbing / Space planning / Kitchen and bathroom fitting / Artwork selection.

If you feel that you would be interested in our service, we would be happy to arrange a meeting so that we can talk through your requirements and you can meet us in person. Please contact Cate on 01223 479434 or cate@angelandblume.com.
