Highlights
"Michael was excellent from start to finish. He really listened to our needs and took the time to understand our house and lifestyle before making any recommendations. Based on his previous experience, he suggested practical solutions that would work best for us, which we found really helpful. The plans he produced are excellent – thoughtful, clear and perfectly suited to our house and the way we live. Professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with – we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."
"Michael was prompt, and carried out the measurements very efficiently! He was very clear explaining the process and what steps were involved, and also shared progress on the plans throughout, would thoroughly recommend!"
"Met with Michael, discussed our thoughts. He was very helpful and not pushy. Agreed to commission his services. Survey undertaken, design plans produced and once layout agreed structural drawings (and calcs) followed. Really good service, including quick response following design change suggested by our builder during the works."

"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.
