Highlights
"Phil was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job from start to finish .. he worked with us to get what we wanted and took care of everything .. Phil works alone and does everything himself so can take a little longer than say these big firms who crash in and out .. but it is well worth the wait for Phil’s craftsmanship and eye for detail ( he did our en-suite as well and I’ve not seen better tiling !! ) it was a pleasure to have Phil in the house so much so he’s completing a seating project for us as well now 10 out of 10 for everything"
"Fantastic from start to finish , polite, patient even when I changed my mind or added extra things. Tidy, professional and workmanship was A1. There was lots of damp uncovered and Phil was calm and reassuring. Would have no hesitation to recommend, in fact he will definitely be doing our kitchen when we are ready ."
"We are really pleased with our new bathroom that Phil fitted for us so beautifully. Phil is unflappable and works calmly through any problems that arise. His workmanship is exceptional and we would thoroughly recommend him."

"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.
