Highlights
"Neil and Gary completely refurbished our bathroom over the course of eight days and the finished product is perfect. Always on time, friendly, polite and helpful, it was a pleasure to have them in the house. The work was completed to an exceptionally high standard and to the quote that Neil provided to us last year. The house was left clean and tidy at the end of every day and they even took the time to chat to our builder obsessed 4 year old who was in awe of their work! Looking forward to having them back in a few weeks to undertake our garage conversion. Thank you!"
"Neil completely replaced our bathroom recently. He is a joy to have in your home, and his vast experience makes him extremely knowledgeable. He thinks of helpful ideas that might not have occurred to you. No task is too daunting or too much. Neil works fast, with the energy and strength of a man half his age. Great work ethic. Then the quality of his work is top class. Everything is neat, straight and finished to a high standard. He won't finish until everything is working and watertight, plus he works on one project at a time, so is not disappearing off to see other customers."
"Neil and Garry submitted an estimate for the work to be undertaken — fitting a new kitchen into a new room and renovating the room previously used as a kitchen to become a dining room. They kept to the estimate and timing outlined by Neil when I first contacted him in July, giving me updates to the scheduled commencement in November. Their work was consistently of a good standard and between the two of them can turn their hand to virtually anything. The subcontractors they had to use (electrician and quartz top supplier) were also good. Cannot recommend highly enough."

"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.
