Highlights
"Grant and the team at HC Granite we’re fab from day one. I asked a lot of questions and changed my mind a lot but Grant was very patient and knowledgeable. We had a few last minute changes of our kitchen design and when they come to template they had a few hurdles but they overcame them and presented the best options. On fitting day again they had challenges and managed to overcome them and leave my kitchen looking fabulous. It’s better than I imagined and I would highly recommend HC Granite to anyone looking for a Quartz worktop!"
"Excellent communication throughout, they were very flexible yet clear about pricing and timing to manage my unrealistic expectations and did a great job, would highly recommend."
"Highly recommend!!! Very very happy with the work carried out, beautiful quality brought our tired old kitchen to life. Chris and team were considerate and efficient, I basically just let them in and left them to it while I worked."

"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.
