Highlights
"Nicolas is a very reliable worker who works at a high standard. We had some lead and felt work that needed to be replaced. We then discovered some other issues that needed rectifying from another company we had used previously. Nicolas repaired the issues with no problems whatsoever. We are extremely happy with the work that was carried out and would highly recommend Nicolas."
"Clear communication of work required, set out in quote and carried out in a meticulous manner to a high standard."
"All work was carried out very carefully and tidily. The old roof was covered in moss and this was removed and the roof then sprayed with specialist chemicals to prevent new growth. Where necessary broken tiles were replaced with matching reclaimed stock. Price to carry out work was very competitive and all debris from job removed with working area left clean and tidy."

"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.
