Highlights
"Excellent-work to very high standard and very tidy. Attention to detail was excellent and kitchen refurbishment was better than my expectations. Any changes I wanted were accommodated and some ideas I had not considered from Frank enhanced look of kitchen. So pleased with new dishwasher, Range and extractor fan that Frank picked. It was a kitchen refit and utility room also."
"Frank was efficient hardworking & knowledgeable about his trade, we were more than confident in him with our kitchen makeover!"
"Frank and Drew from Kitchen Makeovers (Reading) updated our kitchen, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. They were just as professional and efficient. They worked tidily, kept everything neat, and showed respect for our home throughout. What surprised us most was how a simple change—just replacing the doors and front drawers—completely transformed our kitchen's look. It feels modern, fresh, and brand new, all without the hassle or expense of a complete renovation. We happily recommend them to anyone considering a kitchen makeover."

"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.
