Highlights
"A thorough inspection was carried out and photographs of the issue were shown to me both before and after the work was carried out. Tommy and his team were very professional, A pleasure to do business with. I can't give them a 10 for the work carried out as only time will tell, but that's down to the elements and I would most definitely call them back if required."
"This turned out to be a complicated and difficult job, which took 3 months. Allways Roofing persevered and the result is excellent. They took great trouble over even the smallest details and the quality of work is very high. Communication was easy and their personnel could not have been more friendly or helpful. I have used Allways Roofing before and will do so again. I continue to recommend them."
"Allways Roofing have just finished an extensive roof repair on my house involving removing all existing tiles, original battens/felting. Felting/battens replaced with new and roof retiled.. It took 3 weeks during the recent very hot but thankfully dry weather, Tommy having agreed to timing the work to take advantage of the forecast dry spell. Communication was good, the team turning up when they said they would and working very well together, explaining what they were doing as they went along, when asked, and addressing any issues we had. All in all a good outcome."

"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.
