Highlights
"Joe has worked for me on more than one occasion - each time he came the same day to give a quotation and was also able to carry out the repair I needed later that day. Absolutely great service, highly professional and Joe really cares about his work. Recommended without hesitation."
"Joe was super quick to respond, surveyed what needed doing and then did it, that day and with no fuss. Great work."
"Had a very prompt reply when I first sent my enquiry over the weekend, Mr Shaw arrived on Monday morning when he said he would, he saw what needed to be done, went away to get material and came back to complete the repair the same morning. Wonderful service, I would highly recommend."

"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.
