Highlights
"Marley was prompt and reliable from the outset. His team worked efficiently and respectfully. Our property is Edwardian and in a conservation area and the work was carried out with this in mind. The standard of work was very good. Through out the work we were kept informed and Marley happily undertook a few add ons, at our request. We found Marley of MB Roofing, and his team to be very hard working, courteous and very tidy. I would be happy to use MB Roofing for any future work."
"Turned up despite bad weather forcast. Tried their best but weather was so bad. I was kept informed of progress due to weather and job completed quicker than I thought it would be. Great service and certainly a name I will keep close by for future work. Excellent service."

"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.
