Highlights
"A big shout out to Kerry who sorted out our guttering from dripping. Not the biggest job but turned up to look when he said he would and came back with what was needed an hour later. All in all a great service. Thank you."
"First class service from phone call to completion of roof repair. All work carried out with a professional attitude. Clean tidy workmanship. Repairs completed on time and at the agreed price. Very happy with the service and they will be the first to call should I need any further roof work carried out. Big tick in the box."
"Kerry was excellent completed my roof repair with professionalism, efficiency, and competency, he was very good value. Kerry took pictures all the way through the job to check I was happy, and if there was any additional to be done he would take pictures and give my the option to go ahead at the revised price. I needed a small repair done 18 months after the main repair was done and Kerry came and completed the repair quickly and with no effort, if I could score him 11 out of 10 I would. I wouldn’t hesitate to use K J brown roofing in the future, as well as recommending him to all my friends."

"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.
