Highlights
"So impressed. Thank you especially to George for excellent service. I have shown your plans to many engineers and they have all said very good drawings. Your company has held my hand throughout this loft conversion and done numerous revisions and submitted it all to planning so smoothly. The online meetings were really helpful. The fact that this was all in the fixed price, and a very affordable one, has me recommending your award winning company to everyone I know. The building work is ongoing now. It is so good to know you are there if I have any questions."
"Very polite and helpful architect. Answered any questions we had and changed the plans slightly for free when we had to more things around for the boiler to be moved. Everything was completed promptly and George applied on behalf of us for a Lawful Development Certificate which was granted without issue."
"Luke and his team were excellent in supporting our planning needs. Very flexible to a series of revisions and additions asked for by the SSDC planners. Really pulled it out of the fire to deliver to a very tight deadline. Happily recommend them to anyone who needs local planning drawings and plans. Norhing was too much trouble for them"

"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.
