Highlights
"Needed some gutter and roofing repair work in a difficult to access part of the house. Ian gave a very reasonable quote, and was completely honest, advising me I didn't need work undertaken that had been recommended by another builder! When completing the job Ian was punctual, polite, friendly and super professional. The work was to a very high standard. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he couldn't have been more helpful. Not only a great professional but a lovely guy as well. Would 100% recommend."
"Could not have been more helpful about sorting out a leak in our conservatory. Responded quickly to my request. Came round to have a look and found the problem. When it finally stopped raining after a few days Ian was back to sort it out. Highly recommended."
"From very first contact Ian was polite and informative. He provided a quote very quickly and arranged a date to do the work, trying to dodge the never ending rain. Ian started the work early, at around 08:00 on day one and took around two days to finish. The job was a large (9m x 3m) shed that needed reroofing. Ian carried out some other repairs too, that we outside the scope of work, which he included in the price. Great workmanship, a nice guy and sensible pricing (compared to others). I would recommend Ian without hesitation."

"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.
