Highlights

"Excellent job and will definitely be coming back to Stay Dry Roofing for any future roofing jobs!"

Matthew HCheckatrade5.0 rating

"Found several leaks in my roof, the day we were going into hospital for the birth of our child. Adam/Brayden reached out after i left details on here for a roof repair. They came to assess and did not pressure me at all. I chose to have a new roof, despite being told it could be repaired (my choice, not pushed) They came on time, were always polite, kept me up to date with the repair, even taking me up on the roof to see progress made. Only came to me with additional work where 100% necessary. (Sofit was disintergrated). Will Definitely use again, and a plan to in the near future!"

"Absolute breath of fresh air. I was reccomended by a friend to Braden Smith, and was offered an initial assessment and a very very reasonable and fair quote. They put up scaffolding, and did everything by the book whilst keeping me fully updated with photos and easy to understand explanations They worked ridiculously hard and finished as quickly as they could, and I cannot give them more of a praise than this."

"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 Register
Smart 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.
