Highlights
"Tophat roofing have been amazing from the start. They have been efficient and transparent from the start. Although the weather conditions affected the work that could be done initially, Paul and his team put on a temporary measure to safeguard my properly and ease the stress of a leaking roof. From there Paul regularly checked in and quickly got to work, resulting in an amazing job and a new felt roof applied. Paul, thank you again to you and your team."
"Outstanding service from start to finish. Paul was incredibly responsive and actually came out to assess the situation properly before providing a quote. He took the time to discuss various options with me, explained everything clearly, and offered great advice throughout. His knowledge and professionalism really stood out. I’m extremely happy with the final result of the guttering renewal and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."
"Paul and his colleague were excellent. They were friendly, professional, and completed the work ahead of schedule (Paul originally quoted a 2-3 week lead time, but was able to fit us in only about 1 week after he came to do a site visit). Paul conducted a careful site assessment and provided a range of different options for the repair work. He took the time to explain the different pros and cons of different options, which was useful given that we don’t know much about roofing. Would definitely recommend Tophat to friends and family."

"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.
