Highlights
"Called out to look at leaking guttering. Was given a quote and booked in for the same week. All work was carried out with no mess and the problem was fixed. Would be happy to use again."
"Lee replied to my request straight away, and offered to come and look at the job. He was able to complete some new guttering for me within a week and has done a great job. Lee turns up on time and leaves everything tidy when finished. Would recommend him highly."
"Quick to respond to enquiry and come out to estimate. Competitively priced and carried out the work when promised. Work all of good quality. Kept me updated on what was happening each day. Highly recommend."

"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.
