Highlights
"Skimming two bedroom"
"Matt did a fantastic job decorating my house from start to finish. His attention to detail is outstanding, and he clearly takes great pride in his work. Everything was completed on time, the finish is flawless, and he left the place spotless afterwards. He was friendly, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the whole process. I couldn’t be happier with the results – the house looks completely transformed. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a professional decorator."
"No one should allow Matt to do their job as he seems to be a nice person but he is not whom he appears to be. He came to do a plastering work on my ceiling in LS9 area and he kept on going in and out of my building every 5-10 minutes and he used two days to do the job without completing it but I still went ahead and paid him full amount of the money that he charged. My husband said he wasn’t satisfied with the job he had done so I called him to come back and complete the job but this guy refused. In fact I think what he did wasn’t professional and wouldn’t recommend him to anyone."

"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.
