Highlights
"Partition of attic and addition of extra bathroom. Reliable, trustworthy, clean and professional build and finish. Pricing was transparent and fair. They were careful to check if there were any decisions that arose during the work. We have used Sokol and Luan multiple jobs now and would recommend them."
"I am a repeat customer. I never call anyone else nowadays, they did our bathroom and kitchen a while ago. Now the did front room and front garden. Sokol & Luan are very polite, hard working brothers, nothing is too much for them even if plans change. I really wish all workmen were as honest, punctual, tidy… as them, then again I don't need other workmen as long as they work in my area."

Unfortunately too expensive costs for the size of the job, far more then other quotations.

"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.
