Highlights
"I contacted Beales Plastering and Ray visited my home to provide a quote, clearly explaining the work required and the timescales involved. Ray and his son Jordan completed the work within the agreed timeframe and to a very high standard. Both were extremely polite, punctual, and exceptionally tidy - honestly, their attention to cleanliness was impressive. I felt completely at ease with them and trusted them enough to leave them alone in my home, which says a lot. I would not hesitate to recommend Beales Plastering, and I genuinely believe there’s no need to look anywhere else."
"Ray is a great bloke - vert professional. Delighted with the work he’s done - a high end finish . We will be booking him again when we next need work done. Have already recommended him to friends."
"Despite having transport problems Ray and his son still managed to get to our house and do the work. Both Ray and his son were so polite and respectful. We had a new ceiling in an upstairs bedroom and the work has been great. Very little mess as well which was a big bonus for us as it has the potential to be a messy job. I would highly recommend this father and son team"

"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.
