Holtbeck Ltd 

For anyone new to the process and looking for a solid, approachable and knowledgeable architect, Charlie’s your man!

We went into the process feeling stupid - having no building knowledge, but he made us feel very comfortable and encouraged us to ask questions from the outset. My partner and I have thoroughly enjoyed the process with Charlie and the team. It truly has been a collaboration of ideas. We’ve been on quite a long road with various revisions, due to plot limitations to get to the planning application stage, but Charlie’s enthusiasm has never wavered.

Unlike our first architectural experience, which was all about what they could draw without realising limitations to our budget or alternative options. Charlie couldn’t have been any further different from our first experience. He has spent time and patience, pursuing our desire to get the max out of the designs. He’s been clever with design; he’s approachable, friendly and has so many solutions for the same outcome. To us, that is value you can’t put a figure on.

We only have praise for Charlie's first class service. He’s gone above and beyond at times, managed our expectations, but always been willing to answer our questions and look at the viability of our “what if” questions. I know architect fees look scary, but we wouldn’t have done this process any different. His knowledge and experience really has driven the project and ensured we squeeze every penny of value out of the project.

We have no hesitation in recommending Holtbeck to anyone.

We received excellent service from Charles at Holtbeck Architects from start to finish.
He had some great idea’s which helped us with our design for an extension.
Always answered our queries in great detail and more.
Everything was of top standard and professional too.
Would definitely recommend and will be recommending to my friends and family.
Thank you very much for everything. 🙂

Holtbeck are a proactive professional and efficient organisation. They came up with some good ideas’, took time to explain their process and anything I didn’t understand, and walked me through the different stages of the design not hesitating to politely nudge me when I made a mistake or forgot to complete something.
I have no hesitation in recommending them or in using them again. Many thanks to Charlie and Holtbeck!!

Responsive and supportive

Charlie has been really prompt and he has offered great advice during our house renovation.

Excellent service, Charlie was able to visit the house and offer great advice along with a professional service.

Would definitely recommend and use again in the future.

Holtbeck re-invented the layout of our ground floor by combining our kitchen and living room to produce a brilliant family area. Good ideas, open to discussion and helpful with the building work.

Charlie offered great advice from the start, which actually did him out of business which shows his integrity. He is honest, knowledgeable and professional and I would have no hesitation in contacting him in the future to use his services.
