Highlights
"Stephen was responsive, helpful and straight forward with his advice. From start to finish, including scaffolding, the lads were all friendly, polite and tidied up after themselves. The work looks good, they were speedy, and very competitively priced. Would highly recommend 👍🏻"
"I had roof problems for years on two properties. I’d been very unlucky with previous cowboy builders, and several roofers tried but couldn’t fix the issues. Stephen was recommended by friends, and he was amazing. Both jobs were difficult, but Stephen and his skilled team were the only ones who could sort them properly. This was done several months ago, and since then both roofs have stayed completely watertight. I can finally relax and not worry every time it rains. Stephen is reliable, honest, and truly excellent at what he does. I’m very grateful and recommend him and his team"
"Absolutely brilliant work, just had a main roof replacement plus a whole new flat garage roof done from colossal. Great lads who never stopped working in some questionable weather. Brilliant job from start to finish"

"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.
