Blackburn Architects

We used Ben for a rear extension on our house. He was great from start to finish - he listened to what we wanted and came up with a design, whilst also suggesting good ideas that we hadn't considered. He was always available and very responsive, and made changes to the design in a very timely manner. He also kept us well updated throughout the planning approval process and made sure this was completed as soon as possible. We would certainly recommend and use again!

I highly recommend Blackburn Architects for any architectural project. Their expertise, attention to detail, and management skills were instrumental in the successful design and refurbishment of my roof terrace. Their creativity and professionalism truly exceeded my expectations.

Working with Ben has been a joy. Easy going and responds to emails and calls. Delivers exactly what had been agreed. Highly recommended.

So glad we chose Ben as our architect. His initial suggestions helped us come up with ideas we’d not considered and make best use of the space. Everything was super efficient and never too much trouble when we had loads of questions. We got through the planning process and the council were very happy with Ben’s submission and he chased them up to get things going asap. Once the build was underway Ben was a star, liaising with our builders, surveyors etc and helping ensure everything ran smoothly despite there being some tricky aspects of the project. We are really pleased with how the design turned out and it’s transformed our living space! Thanks Ben.

Great job, provided several options and ideas and met the brief. Very professional and excellent communication.

Excellent all round service Highly recommended Can’t be faulted Great in all aspects

We can not recommend Ben highly enough, he has been amazing from start to finish. The first time we met Ben on his 1st site visit to provide an initial tender we knew we would be picking him for the job. His attention to detail is impeccable and thanks to his expertise he created a property far bigger than we would have dreamed possible. His knowledge on rules and regulations allowed us to completely trust his judgement and made the planning process a little less stressful!. Ben is very professional in the work he provides whilst still providing a very personal touch to his work, we can not thank him enough for creating our dream home.

Ben listened to our ideas and improved on them with an insightful vision of what we could achieve. He provided valuable technical and on site support through the build. End result - a brilliant extension to our home which has both added value and, importantly, become a joy to live in.

Ben designed a beautiful kitchen diner extension, 1st floor bathroom extension and loft conversion. The works are now complete and we couldn't be happier. Ben was great to work with from start to finish, navigating planning permission without a hitch even though we were building beyond the normal size extension. Ben worked closely with my wife and I to fully understand our ideas and what we wanted out of the space, whilst working carefully with our budget. Couldn't recommend more.

Ben was great to work with, he came up with an amazing design, gave great advice and surpassed our expectations of what we could achieve with our house! He then got the designs through planning quickly and smoothly without a hitch. Would highly recommend Ben’s services!

Blackburn Architects we one of three we considered for our project. Ben came and presented great ideas, detailed how to achieve them and fees we competitive. He gave us advice on the outline costs of what to expect from Builders and told us about other costs we hadn't even considered. Planning was quick (as quick as the council allowed!) and easy, Ben handled everything. Once we obtained permission, Ben helped us vet and appoint a builder, something that had made us nervous. Blackburn Architects helped us with project management. He provided detailed construction drawings that the builder needed to show exactly what we expected, to meet building control and building good practice. He held regular meetings with our builder and us, which really helped us understand each step of the journey. He was always on hand for a chat about details we had sent by proto and came up with workable solutions. As things neared completion, Ben carried out an afternoon snagging for the builder to put right before our extension was handed back to us. I'd recommend Ben Blackburn to anyone in an instant.

Delivered my house extension in West London; professional service and job completed on time (including a tricky utility room). Would not hesitate to recommend.

I have worked with Blackburn architects on various projects, ranging from house extensions and new build one off homes, to commercial conversions and multi unit developments. Ben has always been very attentive and professional, showing a thorough understanding of the industry through all stages of our projects. I will continue to work alongside Blackburn architects at any opportunity, and would highly recommend.

As we have worked with Blackburn Architects Ltd on multiple projects I would like to highly recommend their services. Director’s attention to details is second to none. Ben coordinates design from early stages ensuring that the client gets exactly what they are after. Highly recommend !

Ben helped me with a really complex extension of a Victorian flat. The available space was super tight with complex constraints from various sewers. This meant it was tricky to maximise the limited space around the necessary structural design. Ben was able to not only understand our initial brief but help us develop it to get much more from the space than we'd imagined possible. His attention to detail is amazing and I still look at little things like the layout of the lighting and switches and realise he got them absolutely spot on. Ben handled the planning process with no stress on us. We stupidly didn't involve him more closely in the build choosing to manage it ourselves - BIG mistake! However, Ben got us out of some sticky situations with his pragmatic problem solving and willingness to help us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone, particularly if you're looking for a beautifully detailed outcome.

Ben helped us with our plans for our side return extension. 1st class service, quick turn around and good value. Would definitely recommend and use again.

We dealt with Ben for our ground floor flat side return extension. He was extremely helpful and informative about making the best use of our space. We had a small, quite dark, ground floor Victorian flat and we wanted to extend into the side return and fully reconfigure the space at the back of the house, which also involved moving the bathroom. We went back and forth with ideas and eventually came up with a great solution and we are really pleased with the result. Ben helped us maximise the usage to be a kitchen, diner, and living room and we can't thank Ben and his team enough. We love it.

I highly recommend Ben (Blackburn Architects) who created a lovely basement extension. A consummate professional whose attention to detail was second to none. He is easy to work with, nothing is ever a problem, and he goes over and above to deliver a great job.

I commissioned Ben to work on my ambitious extension project based on a very positive referral from a friend who had previously commissioned him. Ben immediately added value by identifying opportunities and enhancing the ambition and design of what I had in mind, whilst being responsible with the budget. Ben is a consummate professional, highly creative with a very thorough approach to the project that inspires confidence. Would highly recommend for any project size and complexity.
