Highlights
"Dave and Jacqui always provide an excellent service, focused on completing all work to a very high standard. Would not hesitate to recommend."
"We were very impressed with Archway from start to finish. Theirs wasn't the cheapest quote, but the quality of the work spoke for itself and they gained our trust immediately. All their workmen - even those from the scaffolding company they use - were polite, friendly and very professional. Troy did an amazing job rebuilding our entire chimney; his workmanship is top-notch! Dave and Jacqui were very clear and open in their communications and invoicing and we felt truly looked after throughout the process."
"Work was completed within the timeframe given with minimum disruption. Builders were friendly and helpful and left the site tidy and clean at the end of the day. We are very pleased with our new cloakroom. David was always available to answer any questions that we had."

Smart 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.
