Highlights
"From first contact for a quotation and completion of replacing roofing felt and rotten boards were entirely professional. Very pleased with finished work by two very pleasant individuals. I have no hesitation in recommending PHI for excellent work and reasonable cost."
"I recently employed PHI to remove old corrugated roof sheeting made of asbestos from a lean-to attached to the garage.The workmen wore masks and protective clothing, bagged and taped the material and removed it. A new timber roof covered in two layers of felt was erected on a strong timber frame bolted to the garage wall. Throughout, the workmen were friendly and polite but above all, were efficient. When the work was completed, all debris was removed and the area left tidy. A reliable, efficient and helpful company and I would happily employ them again."
"I would like to thank Andrew and his team at Purbeck Home Improvements for a great roofing job, every looks excellent and we are happy with the result. many thanks' T Brown"

"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.
