Urban Marque Ltd - Peterborough

We came across Urban Marque a few years ago. We were thinking about having an annex built, but had no idea how to go about it. After contacting UM and visiting their office, we decided to go ahead.
My wife had lots of ideas about the interior layout. Nick and Chris were great at getting her ideas put in place.
The assembly process was perfect and very quick. The two workmen were polite and hardworking and would explain things to us if we asked any questions. The building is very high quality and brilliant value for the price.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Urban Marque to anyone thinking about having an annex.

After considerable research of other companies we chose Urban Marque to build a detached annexe for my mother in law. We were in a position where we wanted to move house, but could not find a suitable house that already had an annexe in situ, so that was when we started to investigate the caravan act and realised that we could have an appropriate structure built. We chose Urban Marque initially for the following reasons:

- the knowledge of Chris and Nick to explain and support us in how we could realise our plans
- the superior build quality offered by Urban Marque compared to the majority of other companies.
- the opportunity to have a timber framed structure that could be built to our design and not just in a rectangular shape. We actually adapted Roger Smith’s design in the feedback below to suit our needs, so thank you Roger for the inspiration and thank you to Nick for helping us to modify it.

We are now 11 months into living in our new home and my Mother in Law moved into her lodge about 3 weeks ago. Urban Marque (Nick in particular) have supported us superbly all the way from applying to the planning dept, undertaking the ground work, through to the actual build (which for us took about 12 weeks). We went for the full build package, including electrics (Matt the electrician was super helpful!!) and plumbing. We have now just finished installing kitchen / shower room, floorings and decorating etc.

We are absolutely delighted with the final building, which is an amazing 85m2 lodge, which my Mother in Law loves and which really enhances our property overall. We are very happy with the size, design and finish of the 2 double bedroom, shower room, utility room and open plan kitchen/lounge/diner. The cladding which was superbly installed by Mick looks amazing and we are so happy with the colour we chose given the rural setting it is in.

Other points I wanted to mention :

- Definitely visit Urban Marque’s site in Peterborough, it is good to meet the team and to understand their product more fully. We went up all the way from Devon, but it was worth it!.
- Urban Marque can provide planning consultants, but I would say if you have a site that is slightly less straightforward, consider using a local planning consultant. We had to apply for full planning permission as we wanted the lodge in an area of garden that the planning dept did not class as curtilage. Thanks Chris for your support with this process.
- We have a really difficult to access site and Nick, Andy and David really went the extra mile to help the haulage company / driver deliver everything for our lodge to site.
- As expected, with such a big build / 7 hours from Peterborough we had a couple of challenges along the way with the build, but Nick, Chris, Jake and Andy were always at the end of the phone ready to quickly sort them out for us.
- It is early days, but the follow up care by Urban Marque post the build has also been excellent.
- Projects of this kind are very expensive to undertake , so confidence in the company’s product and staff is essential. In our opinion Urban Marque delivers this confidence.

So thank you to Nick, Chris, Andy, Jake, Mick, Matt and David at Urban Marque for all of your hard work, support and friendliness during this build. We are so, so grateful.

We came across Urban Marque a 5 years ago as we wanted our home built in our garden.
The two workmen Andy and Chris were polite and hardworking and went back and beyond for us, (they even built my children a step) for them to go in and out of our home (which we still have)😀
The building is very high quality and brilliant value for the price we paid
I would have no hesitation in recommending Urban Marque to anyone thinking about having there home or an annex built. Andy one of (the workmen) was so lovely, he said if I ever had any questions I could always ask or pop him a phone call, he helped us a lot with planning inside, and I’d forever be grateful. So thank you Urban Marquee for your service & for your kindness, I’ll defiantly be coming back to you guys for an extension! 💯👏🥳

Just like to share our experience with Urban Marque, it was pleasurable from start to finish and nothing to much trouble, we visited the site in Peterborough three years ago and have now been living in our 2 bedroom home for two years now and are very happy with it.
We added the decking and it feels like we are on holiday every day now that we have retired. I would recommend the company to anyone and one of our friends has now bought another property from Urban Marque after veiwing our home.
We have attatched a view photos from our home being delivered to a being finished.
Thanks again to Nick and the team.

Regards
Mr and Mrs Store

We had to install a Lodge in our Garden due to family ill health. Having researching extensively on line, Urban Marque stood out as the most cost effective.

We were welcomed at their show room in Peterborough to full discuss the process as a whole. There was no "Hard Sell" and we came away clear with what the UM system involved.

We devised and agreed a design between us that suited our requirement.

The service to prepare and submit the required planning via the caravan act was invaluable and Nick and Chris were a great support throughout.

I cannot say enough positives about the installation team and we were able to coordinate the structural works with the internal finishes and external works carried out by us directly smoothly.

We are over the moon with the end product that looks fantastic

Huge Thanks to Urban Marque!!

Nick and the team at UM were fab from the outset. They were patient and helpful with my ideas and their suggestions. The kit arrived in a timely manner and was high quality. Overall very happy with the whole package. I will add photos when I have a moment.

We have purchased two lodges off this company so far. A two bed and three bed. Both high quality built with no issues, from the design stage right through to construction. I like the fact that the lodges are versatile enabling us to add rooms on as required. The paperwork that comes with the lodges is also very extensive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company and should you require can contact me with any questions.
