For designs, Clark & Fenn worked closely with G. Jackson & Sons, founded in 1780 with Robert Adam as a designer. The company soon moved to larger premises at Clapham Old Town where they were able to prefabricate much of their work off-site. This allowed them to take the mouldings ready-prepared for installation to a theatre or cinema, minimising the disruption to performances and rehearsals. Notable works include:
* Theatre Royal, Drury Lane
* Grand Theatre Leeds
* London Palladium
* Somerset House in the Strand
* St. Clement Danes in the Strand,
* Granada, Tooting (en)
