Highlights
"George completed his work very professional.He was very tidy and cleared any mess that he made.I have booked him again to do some work for me.His price was very reasonable and I would definitely recommend his work. SIMartin."
"excellent service and excellent price"
"When we were let down by another plasterer, George popped over to provide us with advice and a quote to plaster our crumbling bedroom walls. He was prompt, tidy and had great communication; he stayed to get the job done and, at the end of each day, showed us the work he’d completed as well as explaining the next steps. This kept us in the loop and was much appreciated. Our neighbour even noticed George’s diligence and nipped out to grab him on his lunch break to see if he was available for some work in their home. Hoping to get him back for more work in our home, so would 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.
