Highlights
"I needed some tiles to be replaced on my roof after some scaffolding damage. Dorset Group were there to help and replaced the tiles with reclaimed ones, resulting in a perfect match. Can’t fault this company. Fast response, polite and very good price. Will most definitely use again."
"Dorset and Hampshire Roofing were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They turned up on time, worked hard, and delivered exactly what they promised. The fact they have their own scaffolding made things quicker and more affordable, which was a real bonus. You can tell they take pride in their work – everything was done to a high standard and the site was left spotless. Would definitely use them again and happily recommend them to anyone needing roofing work."

"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.
