Highlights
"Sam came and did a second job for me last month some internal plaster work in my hall and as per the last time I was delighted by what he did. He is always very courteous and I thoroughly trust him plus the work he does is reasonably priced and to a high standard. He also leaves the place clean and tidy afterwards."
"Sam responded to our enquiry on the same day (Saturday). came to view the job on Sunday. Turned up on time and great communication throughout. Work was carried out within 2 weeks of quoting. Workmanship by Sam and team is great. Kept area clean and tidy. Reasonable cost for job required. An excellent job, thank you Sam. Would definitely recommend and use again."
"Sam did an absolutely fantastic job skimming some Artex ceilings for me. From start to finish everything was great, from a prompt and sensible quote, through to a superb finish, with the added bonus of being very clean and tidy. Great job thank you Sam."

"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.
