Highlights
"Excellent job, , delivered at the quoted cost. Good communication and timekeeping throughout. We trusted First Choice and would use them again.."
"We have had flat roof work done before at the front of our house and were pleased with the work. Recently a damp area appeared in our kitchen and dining room, which was causing damage to the wall. Tyrone came out as soon as we called to investigate and then booked us in two days later. He has replaced some slates, repointed some of the wall and sealed the lead work to stop water getting into the kitchen. He is always helpful and tidy when he leaves"
"Roof repair done very efficiently and great personnel"

Tyrone came out as soon as we called to investigate and then booked us in two days later. He has replaced some slates, repointed some of the wall and sealed the lead work to stop water getting into the kitchen. He is always helpful and tidy when he leaves

"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.
