Highlights
"Sometimes you need relatively small building/carpentry jobs done and it is great to get someone who is very experienced and totally trustworthy to do them. Jason's team removed and replaced large and quite wide wooden window sills from a sunlounge in a 100 year old house, replastering the inadequate surface which was revealed beneath work which could not be quoted for. The result is excellent. Last year we had external doors replaced and they work perfectly, this time another external door was kept but its frame was replaced. We did our own painting of all new wood. Extremely pleased."
"Jason installed a large 4m x 4m aluminium pergola on short notice - great job, no fuss & very pleased with the result. Good communication whilst arranging the job. Would use again & recommend."
"I have used LT a number of times and the work is always excellent, transparent with price, helpful and happy to work with change and surprises! The team are friendly and clear up after themselves each evening which is helpful. I fond cups of tea slices of cake and the odd bacon sandwich keeps them happy and even more motivated than they are. Joking aside if you want a good job at a fair price be confident in contacting and working with 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.
