Highlights
"Nick and Mark did a great job installing a new sink and tap in our kitchen. This involved removing the old stainless steel bowls and cutting a bigger hole in the thick quartz worktop before installing the new unit. We were told in advance to expect lots of dust from the cutting, but the site was left spotlessly clean with the worktops gleaming. Quality of the work was excellent and precise, and all done in a day! We would certainly have them back for future projects. Highly recommended."
"Excellent service from Nick and Mark. They fitted me in at short notice, and went above and beyond to ensure the job was completed to a very high standard. Another great local family run business."
"Nick and Mark were extremely professional, helpful and diligent. They fitted me in at very short notice and made a tricky job look very easy. Great communication from start to finish. I would highly recommend this family run business."

"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.
