Highlights
"We initially called Andy to ask him to move some kitchen units. We had moved house and found that the gaps left for appliances were 2cm too narrow for standard 60cm appliances. Andy came the same day , gave us a very reasonable quote and a date to do the work which was convenient to us that week. He came promptly on the day we agreed and did the work in a neat and efficient manner. We added a few other small jobs whilst he was here and again his prices were very reasonable. As my wife said it was a pleasure to have him in the house. I’m sure it won’t be long before we have him back to help."
"Highly recommend Andy - he did an excellent job with our kitchen refit. He was professional but very friendly to deal with, communicating well and 100% reliable. Very pleased with the kitchen which is transformed. Andy came up with options and ideas. High quality workmanship and attention to detail 👍 Very fair pricing for the job."
"I would highly recommend Andy, his work is excellent. we were very pleased with our new kitchen."

"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.
