Highlights
"He was not as cheap as some but , he explained the process and explained options, he was very honest as he told me on a previous job that I didn’t really need to do parts of the job but I like things to be uniform so I had it done , I did have a cheeper quote given but when they game over the price started to go up and and told I needed a lot more had to be done , I would recommend this company to do the job because of how honest he was throughout, this is the second time I ve used the company, my roof looks great even the little extra bits to help with the way water runs off brilliant."
"Ben came and checked out the problems I was having with my gutters, came up with a solution that didn’t involve the extra cost of replacing it, then came back when he said, and did the work to a high standard and with the minimum disruption. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone, a nice fella that works hard."
"Ben was very clean and tidy, won’t even know he had been. Communicated with us throughout and sent photos of the finished work, very pleased with the standard of work."

"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.
Check the Architects RegisterSmart checks
Before you hire an architect
Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK — ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts — a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate — and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded — the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site — and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
