Highlights
"Got a new roof done by them and it was done within a few days. Turned up whenever they could due to the bad weather throughout the week but even under them circumstances the roof was finished, solid and left everything tidy."
"Reasonable price, replaced roof tile, cleaned gutters and realigned gutter that wasn’t draining. Clearly explained everything that had been done. Worked in atrocious conditions but still cleaned up as best they could. Excellent work, highly recommended, would use again."
"Al and Mark came out and sorted my roof problem quickly and efficiently. They were professional, knowledgeable, and clearly very skilled at what they do. They took the time to explain everything, which I really appreciated, and made sure the job was done properly. They also left everything clean and tidy afterwards, which shows real care and respect for the property. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would 100% recommend them to anyone needing roofing work."

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.
