0 Avoid Paddick engineering! Extremely disappointing, unprofessional and incompetent.
Posted 18 April
Avoid Paddick Engineering. Promised a 10-week turnaround - it took over 30 weeks and still failed. Applications were submitted incorrectly, causing repeated delays, and the final planning was refused due to poor drawings and lack of basic planning knowledge. Communication was unacceptable - ignored emails and even blocked my number. I later discovered they are not registered architects, which explains the poor quality of work. I lost significant time and money and received no proper compensation. Would not recommend! AVOID at all cost!Verified reviewerJob location: BB11Response from Paddick Engineering Limited
Thank you for your review, Dr Khan. Several points raised do not reflect what took place. Drawings were signed off by you at each stage, and amendments turned around promptly. The refusal was an LPA determination, informal officer guidance is never binding, as is standard across the industry. Following the refusal, we continued to support you under Permitted Development, processed the agreed refund promptly, and clearly advised that your architect's design decisions were not PD compliant. That advice was declined. Paddick Engineering are design technicians, this was never misrepresented.

10 Outstanding Structural Engineering Services You Can Trust
Posted 09 April
Job location: LS17We had an outstanding experience working with this structural engineering firm. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, technical expertise, and attention to detail. They took the time to fully understand our project requirements and provided clear, well-thought-out solutions that gave us complete confidence moving forward. What stood out most was their reliability and commitment to quality. Deadlines were consistently met, and the level of precision in their work was impressive. It’s clear they take great pride in what they do. I reccomend highly.Response from Paddick Engineering Limited

All was going well with just a few gripes regarding the communication- then the service fell off a cliff. Having had numerous failures to respond I called the council planning office direct to be told they had been waiting 8 weeks for a response from Paddick to a request and were about to cancel the application. I have now left 4 messages asking Ben to call me with no contact. I now fear I have lost almost £2000. I used Checkatrade because of the great reviews this company had but I note since 2026 the reviews have changed direction. I will ask Checkatrade to comment + update.Verified reviewerJob location: DN10 10 Super work

Our Commitment to Excellence
At Paddick Engineering, we believe in going above and beyond. Our growing list of satisfied clients is a testament to our dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail.
Even if your extension falls under Permitted Development Rights and doesn’t require full planning permission, we always submit an application for a Certificate of Lawfulness on your behalf. This certificate serves as official proof that your extension is legal and compliant, something that’s often essential when selling your home.
Without it, you could face unnecessary delays or valuation issues during the sale process.
So the next time someone tells you that you don’t need to apply to the planning department, you can confidently tell them, that’s not quite right.
We handle all the drawings and documentation needed to secure this certificate, so you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
