Simon & Victoria did a fantastic job designing a large extension to our home, they were very understanding of our needs and have given us a wonderful space that really fits what we need. Simon was on hand for advice through the whole build period, and couldn't have been more helpful, professional and friendly.

I have used Charles Blake Associates twice, initially for the refurbishment of a grade 2 listed commercial premises and subsequently for alterations and refurbishment of an adjoining cottage. Both times the service has been efficient and delivered on time, plans have been passed first time due to Simon's liaison with the relevant planning authorities throughout the planning process and building regs have also been achieved first time. Simon also liaised with structural engineers and building contractors on site to ensure the best and most cost effective solution for the more complex issues encountered. I would definitely recommend Charles Blake Associates to others and would use them again myself should the need arise.

We employed Simon having come across the firm in my role as a local council solicitor. We were not disappointed. We wanted a new porch, loft conversion and new integral garden room/ conservatory. Simon listened to our ideas and designed a layout has provided us with beautiful living space. He guided us through the planning process so that our planning application was supported by the council within the 8 week timeframe. He met every deadline and did so in a professional yet relaxed manner.
Further support and advice was provided as we appointed a builder and Charles Blake kept a helpful eye as the project went ahead, Everything went just as smoothly and on schedule.
Can't thank CBA enough, best decision we made.
