Disappointing Experience

The first review is from Charlie Avis, who gave Tessuto 1 star. He described his experience as "deeply disappointing" after seeking planning permission with the company. He claimed that Tessuto didn't possess the necessary expertise, and the process took an entire year with numerous amendments. According to Charlie, Tessuto was unfamiliar with the planning laws, processes, and detailed drawings. He advises against using Tessuto for planning services, citing poor performance in interior architectural design and space planning.

Positive Experiences

On the other hand, Steven Aldridge and Paul Fitzgerald shared positive experiences with Tessuto. The second review, from Steven, awarded Tessuto 5 stars and praised their exceptional advice and work over a 10-year period. Paul Fitzgerald, the director of Hawksmoor Construction Ltd., commended Tessuto's attention to detail and professionalism on multiple projects. He appreciated the high-quality finishes they specified and expressed enthusiasm for future collaborations.

Conclusion

Despite the mixed experiences, Tessuto Interiors has clearly maintained a strong relationship with some clients. However, the disappointments reported by Charlie Avis highlight the importance of thorough research and due diligence when selecting a company for planning services.
