Highlights
"Toby was quick to visit and quote for us and took time to make sure we were choosing exactly the right products. He was always on time and communicated brilliantly through the whole project. He tidied up every day and was polite, friendly and organised through the works, keeping the house clean and minimising disruption. Very polished professional job on replacing all our interior doors with some clever solutions when small problems (to do with previous work) arose. Would highly recommend him!"
"Excellent kitchen fitter. Came on time and finished the job within 4 days as promised. No time wasting. Excellent finish to the kitchen. Would defo recommmend and use again."
"Toby is great, really friendly and easy to have around. He did a stellar job on our internal doors with clean, tidy work and a superb finish. We’re really happy with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."

"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.
