My first job with Valerie and her company, amazing experience and super helpful! Can’t wait for many more, always there if you need her.Read More

What a pleasure to work with Valerie from The Place Between! From start to finish we felt listened to and supported. We needed help to visualise how to remodel the space of our ground floor and in particular how or whether to combine a kitchen /dining room. Valerie took great care to listen to our needs and wishes and in particular our tight budget. She met us online first and then visited our house to take measurements, then she brought to life (floor plans and 3D designs with walk throughs) several designs with these considerations in mind and many other great ideas to improve our quality of life in this home whilst keeping a sensible eye on improving the value of our property. Along with design ideas, Valerie also gave much practical advice on renovation and how to be as environmentally sound as possible, which really resonated with us. Having never renovated a property before the project felt a little overwhelming but the whole process with Valerie has now helped us to move forward. Thanks to Valerie we now feel much more confident about the remodel and how to stay on track of our budget, how to find the right trades people, how to plan the works and to start enjoying the process of Improving our home. I would not hesitate to recommend Valerie at The Place Between.Read More

I had the pleasure to work for Val on a number of projects over the past 15 years from large renovation to small repairs. As a contractor she has a different approach to design, some of which are difficult to build but through working together we are able to find solutions which fit both of our needs, she uses a range of materials including, reclaimed timber and bricks, sumptuous fabrics and together with her imaginative attention to detail she is able to create beautiful finishes. All her designs are hand sketched which requires more skills rather than using CAD Design. Val has excellent communication skills and is very easy to get in touch with if I have a query, she always plans for maintenance accessibility first in her Design which is very important as repairs can be costly if this hasn’t been taken into consideration previously. Lastly, she always puts the client first and there has not been a single instance over the past 15 years where the client has been displeased with the end outcome of our projects.

Val was amazing. So glad we used her for the project. We’ve got a much much better result than if we had gone it alone. She was always ready in offering ideas and helping to keep the project on track. So pleased with the result!Read More

Val has been a godsend through this whole process, start to finish. I trusted her to help me find a home to buy and guide me through the process. She walked the fine line between bearing in mind my preferences and diplomatically giving me advice on things that I would not have prioritised, but did after getting her gentle nudges. After I purchased the house she did a fantastic job helping me with designing the layout and style. She thought of all the details that, if it's your first time doing something like this, you just don't think of early enough in the process. She was excellent at translating between me and the building contractor and helping me navigating the predictable tensions that arise in a project like this. I hope to not go through this process for a very long time(!), but I would recommend Val to anyone looking for a helping hand on this journey.Read More

Valerie comes with my highest recommendation. She has completely taken command of a difficult building project, identified reliable new suppliers, and driven the project forward to a place where we are really happy with it. She is also unfailingly pleasant, well-organised and a delight to work with.Read More
