Highlights
"Good quote for works. Good comms. Turned up on time as agreed. Did great job - looks so much better. Even repaired gutter seals. Defo use again."
"Job completed quickly and quality of work to a good standard."
"10/10. Charles & his team were great. He came to view the job and offered a reasonable price on the day. Work had to be delayed due to snowfall, but Charles was communicative throughout and turned up when agreed. Work was completed to a high standard and everything was cleared / taken away. Would recommend and will definitely use again."

"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.
