No contact from them at all
My partner took her car in and they came back saying the repairs required were more than the car was worth and even offered to 'take it off our hands'. Upon taking the car to another garage owned by a friend him and everyone in his garage confirmed the things she was told needed doing at great cost didn't infact need doing at all. The car was put back on the road (in great driving condition) for less than a tenth than Jamie quoted her. Having spent thousands at this garage over the last couple years im left wondering if half of it was even necessary or just a crook drumming up business.

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.
