Highlights
"Leigh has just finished decorating our hall stairs and landing and the result is amazing. It was not an easy job as we are in a three storey town house with high ceilings and lots of woodwork. He had to plaster some of the walls and sand the bannister as well as painting the stairs ready for a carpet runner. His preparation was very thorough and he left everything very clean and tidy every night. A real quality job. We are now going to book him for all our decorating."
"Reached out to Leigh about plastering over two boarded holes in our ceiling where we’d had skylights taken out. He was able to quickly quote me based on pictures, got us booked in for the following week, and then came round and did a great job, all looks good as new - thanks Leigh!"
"Leigh has done an amazing job covering all our horrible artex ceilings throughout the house. Repairing previously unidentified issues with a couple. He ensured he covered everything and cleaned up at end of each day. Was polite and friendly, great communications. So impressed with finished results and service. We are now getting him to quote for wallpapering feature walls. Highly recommend LGW Property."

"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.
