Highlights
"Phil from Pristine Plastering was a class act from the outset. He took on a very fiddly job and he did it very well indeed. I would strongly recommend his plastering services."
"Great work and communication, very accommodating to us changing our minds and Phil even helped us save some money with his expertise on what actually needed doing compared to what we originally wanted done. Thank you!"
"This is the second time we have used Pristine Plastering and both times were amazing work. Phil is very knowledgeable and friendly. The finish is fantastic and as we live in a very old house there were some areas where we needed advice. Phil was happy to work with us to find solutions and was honest about what we needed to do. We will definitely be using Pristine Plastering again."

"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.
