Highlights
"Michael's team carried out a full redecoration of our daughter's bedroom and their work was absolutely brilliant. They relocated four different power sockets, filled and plastered the walls, sanded down the windowsill, and painted the walls and ceiling - all to an excellent standard. We found the team to be extremely hard-working and efficient. They arrived on time every morning and got on with the work. We're really delighted with the results and will definitely use Kingston Home Services again. Very happy to recommend Michael and his team and their work!"
"Michael's team fitted a new floor for me in newly completed loft conversion. Really pleased with the work and the service throughout. They came round to measure up, provided a competitive quote and then followed through to deliver a great fitting. Turned up on time on arranged day. Did a fantastic job fitting the floor as per quote. Work was done quickly, good communication throughout and all rubbish tidied up and taken away. Great team and will definitely use again when more work arises."

"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.
