Highlights
"From the beginning the experience was professional with good communication regarding arrangements and explanations of the work that was to be carried out. The project was finished within the allotted time. The team were all helpful , pleasant and tidy. All in all a project I was dreading has worked out well."
"Really efficient at providing a quote. Booked the work in quickly and turned up exactly when agreed. Work was done swiftly and no mess."
"Despite the very poor weather playing havoc with Hugh's schedule, he responded promptly to our request for gutter repairs, both in coming along to assess the work, and then pitching up and doing the job efficiently a few days later. We have used Hugh several times in the past, and are always impressed by his 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.
