Highlights
"Garry plastered our spare back bedroom, which included covering an artex ceiling, and dot and dab platerboarding. From getting the quote to completing the job Garry was nothing but professional, polite and courteous. He was extremely clean and tidy and covered all carpets and flooring that he would be walking over. I will 100% be using Garry again for any future work and am looking to use him again in the summer for rendering work outside. Fantastic job from start to finish."
"Garry and Frank turned up on time, were very polite and professional. They did a great job as the room had lots of holes and a big crack going down one side of the wall and a damaged ceiling. They completed the job in the timeframe they said and kept to original quote. I would have no problem recommending Radford Plastering and will definitely use them again when I need some plastering work done."
"The work was carried out with care, Garry and Frank were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, the work undertaken was of a top standard. I 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.
