Highlights
"We had just purchased a property and it needed painting throughout. Steven was able to come to us quickly and provide a quote, broken down room by room which made it easy to follow and his quote was highly competitive. Even though we changed our minds on choice of paint and aspects of the work he was always quick to reply and support us. His professionalism and quality of his work is exemplary and he will be our go to decorator in Chichester. Highly recommended"
"We really appreciate Steve helping us out at a difficult time by decorating our kitchen. He is extremely efficient, punctual, tidy, friendly and courteous. He was able to resolve creatively an awkward pre-decorating infill, which now looks superb to us and would now never be noticed. Our kitchen is immaculate. We wouldn't hesitate to have Steve return for future decorating. Thank you!"

"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.
