Highlights
"Very pleased with repairs carried out. All aspects of his work done to a professional standard."
"I called Childs Roofing to discuss my leaking roof, they visited two days later, correctly identified the problem and three days after that the work was completed. The actual work was carried out with care, and I was advised throughout what was being done. The site was left clean and tidy; the price of the work was fair to both of us. I would be happy to use this company again in the future."
"New garage flat roof installed yesterday. Childs Roofing Services did an amazing job considering the state my roof was in. Excellent professional service, very friendly company, arrived when they said they would and worked continuously over two days. All debris etc was completely cleared away. I would, without a doubt recommend this company, thank you guys."

"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.
