Highlights
"Nick was recommended by a family member. When he came to quote for the job he took time to understand what my requirements were. He went away, sourced the correct materials and priced the job quickly. Nick arrived when he said he would and completed the job to a high standard and to my specifications. He was clean in his methods and left my premises clean and tidy. I would definitely use again and recommend to friends and family."
"Did good job well pleased"
"Really good trade man who was pilot, on time and tidy. Came in and did the job, no flapping and was pleasant to talk to whilst doing the job. Have already asked him to do other work for me."

"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.
