Highlights
"Tim did an exceptional job giving our kitchen and bathroom a new look, along with several other minor work around the house. We couldn’t be happier with the result! Tim was professional and reliable and communicative. He kept us updated regular with the progress. Despite an unexpected delay with our kitchen delivery, he managed to follow the original schedule. We highly recommend Tim and would not hesitate to work with him again for any future work."
"We would not hesitate to recommend Tim and the team having recently completed our kitchen project. We were let down by our original kitchen fitter but Tim swooped in to help in a very efficient, competitive and polite manner. His communication is second to none and he really did go above and beyond to ensure we were happy with our new kitchen - he even took away all the rubbish! We are thrilled with the result and would use him again should we have similar projects in the future!"
"Tim was excellent throughout. He arrived at the time he promised every day, working very hard to complete the job on time and to a high standard."

"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.
