Highlights
"Can’t fault the MCO team. All works done to great quality and to programme. Some additional works were required during the main contract. I was given a number of options and all done to plan. Communication great throughout. Would highly recommend."
"Extensive work to fix damp problems caused by roof issues and rising damp. We were very happy with the work completed by MCO. All the staff were reliable, polite and hard working. Very well organised by the team in the office."
"Thank you MCO for the wonderful and professional work when installing my new bathroom and decorating my entire house. I couldn't recommend the team enough they were friendly and patience with me throughout the entire process; even when I changed my mind on a number of occasions. Will defiantly be using MCO for all future works in my home."

"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.
