Highlights
"Total Restoration removed my chimney stack and renovated area with new roof tiles etc to match the rest of the roof. I am absolutely thrilled by their first class service. The owner came the same day I called for a quote to inspect job and the written quote came within a few hours after he left. The work was done just a few days after I accepted the quote which was amazing. The whole team were very friendly, polite and professional and they were very tidy both during the works and left the place tidy and clean at the end of job. I totally recommend Total Restoration to everyone"
"Very professional and excellent service. Daily briefings, verbally and with pictures as I had to monitor this repair (whole roof replacement) remotely. The whole process from first contact to completion done in a matter of 2 weeks. Very curtious, polite and caring to all parties. Site thoroughly cleaned and tidied on completion."

"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.
