Highlights
"Southern roofing and building carried out a full house renovation for me, including building an extension. Roy and the team were very knowledgeable, tidy and polite. The workmanship was excellent and there was little to no snagging needed. Thankyou southern roofing and building I look forward to using you again :)"
"Roy quickly identified the problems and how to make roof water tight again. Only had a short wait before he came to do the work quickly and efficiently. I waited until after recent heavy rain to check there were no leaks before writing review- - there aren't! Thank you Roy"
"I called Roy out after receiving some pretty scary quotes from other companies. Roy was completely transparent about the work which needed doing he advised me that I had been quoted for work which didn’t need doing on my pitch roof. Roy and his team however replaced my flat roof very quickly and left no mess. He kept me updated and even cleaned all my gutters for free. I cannot thank ans recommend him enough!"

"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.
