Highlights
"I cannot recommend Chris highly enough. He is extremely knowledgable, honest and reliable, and did everything possible to keep the cost of our repairs to a minimum. A true gem of a find - would not go anywhere else now."
"Absolutely amazing mechanic. Called out to fix a leaking water hose on my 1977 Lancia, not only did he repair this he also diagnosed that the engine wasn't ticking over properly. Fixed a loose fule pipe while he was there. Didn't even request a change for the extra job. The car run so much better than before. Could not be happier."
"Fantastic job done by Chris who replaced a fuel pump on my car which was a big job that others would not touch! Everything now fully functional and he charged a very fair price for the job ! Recommended trader !!"

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.
