Highlights
"After our recent Chimney repair Pat and the team surveyed the roof at our request. They found signifcant decay on the roof beams and tiles. They explained everything to us backing it up with videos and photos. They carried out the roof repair in professional manner, with a daliy report with photos on the progress and next steps. Excellent communication and great job well done."
"Pat's team did a neat job of repairing our vegetated chimneys whilst we were having our roof re-slated, including: - Raking out and re-pointing the brickwork - Replacing the stepped lead flashing (properly chased into the brickwork) - Repairing the flaunching on top of the chimney"
"Pat and his team did a full re-roof on our slate roof. We got updates including picture and videos basically daily, and Pat talked us through the ongoing work on multiple occasions. The roof had lime torching, but the team removed all this and lined it with felt. The slates were reused where possible. Our house as solar panels, and this was not an issue. When the roof came off some cracks were found in the structural beams, Pat kept us updated and offered a few paths forward, we chose to have the beams reinforced this work was completed too. Pat also arranged the skip and scaffolding."

"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.
