- About
A small practice that has been here a long time.
Homeplan Designs was founded in 1979 and is run by Chris Sinkinson, with Jill Sinkinson looking after interiors and the office. Two people, forty-seven years, and the same phone number.
Chris is an architectural consultant and designer rather than a chartered architect, which in practice means the same drawings, the same council submissions, and a considerably smaller invoice. He has been modelling in 3D for twenty-two years, since well before most practices moved off the drawing board.
Fylde Borough Council gave the practice a Civic Conservation Award for Good Design in the Environment.
Chris Sinkinson
Founder and designer. Chris does the site visits, the surveys, the modelling and the drawings, and handles the planning and building regulations submissions himself. If you ring the office during the week, he is usually the one who answers.
Jill Sinkinson
Office manager and a qualified interior designer. Jill runs the practice day to day and advises on interiors where a client wants that help, which on a kitchen extension is more often than you would think.
Rather than go to the expense of moving house, more people are choosing to extend. The average cost of moving in the UK has more than tripled in ten years. All of that money could pay a good proportion of the cost of your extension.

Where we work
Lytham, Blackpool, Preston, Cleveleys, Leyland, Chorley, Lancaster and Blackburn, and broadly anywhere within fifty miles of the studio. If you are on the edge of that, ring and ask.
What it costs
There are no prices on this website, deliberately. Every job is different and quoting one from a web page would mean quoting it wrong. The first visit and the conversation that goes with it are free, and you get a fixed price after it, once we both know what the job actually is.
The first conversation costs nothing.
Chris comes out, looks at what you have actually got, and tells you what is possible. Including when the answer is don't.
