Highlights
"Sam and the team did an excellent job re-tiling and re-mortaring the roof to our extension. Work was done quickly and to a high standard, and his communication was excellent. Would have him back again for any future works."
"We had excellent prompt service for a leaking roof. Replacement flat roof all done & everything left clean & tidy. Also tiled roof cleaned of all moss & sprayed."
"I contacted Sam about some damp we had in our extension. He replied very quickly and came out to review the issue same day. Once he had, he gave an estimate, again, same day and booked me in for the work (new roof) the following week. The team came and did all the work within 2 days, and they were all friendly and tidy throughout. I can recommend Sam to anyone who has any issues with damp, or require a new roof."

"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.
