Highlights
"Conor overboarded and skimmed my ceilings. He was really easy to communicate with and kept me up to date throughout which I really appreciated. The work was done well and in such good time, causing minimal disruption. Would definitely use Conor again for any plastering we need doing."
"Conor did some work for us before Christmas and we were really pleased with it! His communication was clear and helpful throughout, from the initial contact to completion of the job. He offered a competitive quote. He carried out the work on time and to a high standard. He was tidy and careful, leaving no mess. We would definitely use him again!"
"Conor was simply amazing. From first communication to the last he had been very kind and respectful. The work he completed for me was a little bit of a challenge but he had a great plan and adapted where needed to ensure he left me with walls so smooth I can't wait to get painting. Thank you Conor and I'll be sure to contact for when I need more work done."

"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.
