Highlights
"I set Steve a task of giving a kitchen a face lift prior to the sale of a house, he gave me excellent advice on where to buy all the items required, and some excellent advice on what we could do. He carried out the work in the time quoted, to an excellent standard, and left the area clean and tidy. I shall most definitely use Steve again, should i need a Kitchen installing Paul Bedford"
"Steve was a pleasure to work with on my kitchen installation. He was punctual, tidy & friendly, putting forward good solutions for potential issues & suggesting thoughtful tweaks to make my kitchen more functional."
"We could not be happier with Steve and his quality of workmanship. A true craftsman with real pride in his work."

"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.
