Highlights
"Would recommend. Done a few jobs for me since 2021. Good work at reasonable prices."
"Shed roof replaced and eave trays with bird spikes fitted to the main roof front and rear. I rang Shane initially for a shed roof replacement, he came out promptly and quoted a few hours later. I also asked him about the main roof and birds getting under the tiles. He checked and explained the problem and quoted a little later, he was very polite and knowledgable. The work on both was carried out a few days later. Shane worked none stop for the days he was here along with Keiron. You wouldn’t have known they had been as all rubbish removed and left clean and tidy! Would def recommend."
"Excellent communication, turned up as discussed, no lengthy tea breaks got on with the job in hand, Very clean and tidy and a fantastic result and a very competitive pricing structure. Will definitely use this company again for any work that's in there portfolio. Thanks Shane and Keiron."

"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.
