Highlights
"Our pull out larder needed a small repair. Fully aware it wouldn't be a big job which normally means companies are not interested. Therefore was delighted with how professional Peter and the office were. Polite, professional and completed the job well. Anything further in the future on a bigger scale we would use Peter/Principle Kitchens and Carpentry."
"We absolutely love our new basement kitchen and can’t recommend Principle Kitchens highly enough. The final result is flawless, and Peter was an absolute pleasure to deal with. While a few challenges arose along the way, he handled them expertly, addressing every question and request with exceptional attention to detail, clear communication, and genuine honesty. The end result exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier."
"Communication great and workmanship to high standard. Kept everywhere tidy. High standard of fitting. Would highly recommend."

"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.
