Highlights
"On December 3 I had excellent service from HGS Roofing Services. Some repairs to a flat roof, storm damage on a lead flashing, and a replacementt vent cowl were carried out in a speedy, responsive, and reassuring manner. I was kept briefed by phone camera during the work and was very satisfied with the attitude, approach, and handling of the repairs by the two gents involved. My principal contact was Peter Rourke. My first time with HGS and I can highly recommend this company. They are my Go To Contractor now."
"Pete did a great job, very professional and reasonable"

"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.
