Highlights
"John initially came to look at the job, explained in detail what would be required and gave a quote for it. He then turned up as arranged and completed the work to a high standard, leaving the area clean and tidy afterwards. I'd definitely use John again for any repair work."
"We had a leak around a chimney which we’d been trying to get fixed for years. Lots of roofers had come to look and couldn’t see a problem or suggested a complete new roof instead. Meanwhile, the water kept coming in. Simon from John Riley Roofing listened carefully to the problem, inspected the roof, identified the cause and came up with a practical solution. He impressed me with his vast knowledge and professional attitude. Simon and John did the work to schedule, with care and professionalism. Leak finally appears to be fixed! I’d definitely use this firm again. 100% recommend."
"Competitive pricing. Really good communication, prompt and reliable time-keeping, friendly and helpful manner, and Simon went the extra mile to come back and fix something we’d missed first time. Would definitely use him again for future work."

"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.
