Highlights
"Absolutely excellent service! Came out the same day to look at a leaking roof - fixed the problem straight away without a problem and then came make to make sure everything was water tight (which it was). Highly recommended, really friendly and honest team 😊"
"We had problems with pigeons under our solar panels. Their mess had completely blocked our downpipe and guttering. Roofbuild did a fantastic job replacing the downpipe, cleaning the guttering, birdproofing the solar panels and repairing damaged slates. Their workmanship and communication were excellent throughout and so was tidyness. Not easy under the circumstances. I would also like to mention the scaffolding company they work with (Henry Scaffolding). They did a great job building through a tree without damaging it. Very happy with everything!"
"Guy and his family have worked for us for two years. Always helpful and reliable. They have done one big job on the roof in the conservation area in Canterbury, and also smaller repairs. Recommend Roofbuild."

"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.
