Detailed reviews
Showing the 2 reviews we hold full text for. The 35 headline total is the review volume reported across DMB Building & Roofing’s public review sources.
Work was completed whilst I was on holiday, Dave text asking for the £500. I refused until I saw - upon coming home very little work was completed, including 2 tiles that were resting in the gutter above the front door. Given the trust customers place in roofers, this was initially my only sign that the work was not completed - until I got up and took pictures myself. Also, the guttering was still leaking. Dave's men turned up and corrected the tiles - but the leaking gutter remains, and they are still full of silt. When I chased Dave and asked for a part refund.

"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.

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.
