Highlights
"the company are really good they guide you and always in contact when arriving etc i highly recommend them"
"Dean and Andy were very prompt and professional. They identified the work required and completed it quickly and to a very high standard. They are very conscientious and respected both mine and my neighbours property. I would highly recommend them."
"We recently needed to have a new roof for our large wooden garden gazebo. I made numerous efforts to obtain quotes etc from various roofing companies in the area with little success. I then checked with Checkatrade. Within minutes I received a call from Dean @ D S Roofing. Two days Andy from D S Roofing came to visit us and provided the quote we needed and within a few days the work started and was finished two days later. We are absolutely delighted with the work carried out by Andy and Lou, who also great guys. They arrived each day as they said they would and kept us updated each day."

"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.
