Anna has helped me with several projects and I have found her responsive, professional and understanding. I love Manning Holden's work and especially the fact that their great designs also seem very practical. Couldn't recommend thrm highly enough.

Jamie Rowlston

Anna and Mick were able to provide superb assistance and guidance in our route to obtaining planning permission for our house extension. They were polite and patient when we were trying to work out exactly what we were wanting the end product to look like.

We were particularly appreciative of being offered alternative suggestions and ideas to the building extension's shape. Anna was able to think of ideas that we had not even considered!

The visual impressions of how the extension could look after completion of the build were so lifelike it really added to the quality of service they offer!

Overall we cannot fault the service and quality of work we had received to achieve our accepted planning permission.


Thank you Anna and Mick.

David Frederickson

Anna was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. She helped us realise our vision of an extension to our house (in the place of an old jerry-built garage) in a Peak Park conservation area. She is clear, straightforward and professional and her plans translated onto the ground without a hitch. She also knows the local building industry and recommended a contractor who did a great job for us.

Billy Underwood

This was my first foray into using an architect but Anna has been great, very forthcoming with ideas and advice regarding planning applications and all manner of related things, and basically held our hands through the entire process. The drawings she provided were amazing. Would definitely recommend!

Ian Keeton

We engaged Anna to supply her services for a proposed extension and improvements to our bungalow in Tansley. We were impressed with the service she offered and was prompt and pleasant to deal with. She produced some initial proposals which we would have been happy to develop. For a number of reasons we have decided not to proceed with any works for the time being but will not hesitate to re-engage Anna if we decide to continue.

David Walker

Anna was very responsive and quickly understood what we wanted in converting our old property. Her approach was both professional and friendly and she opened our eyes to other ideas. We felt the charges were very reasonable and the plans were delivered as promised. We would not hesitate to use Manning Holden Architects again.

Matthew Howe

Manning Holden Architects helped us to visualise our plans to extend our home. From the initial meeting right through to the planning stage, Anna helped us by providing advice and suggestions. We haven't yet started the build work, though the plans look amazing. I'd have no hesitation to recommend Anna to anyone looking at a home extension.
