Highlights
"I hired YT Carpentry and Building for kitchen installation. The kitchen was completed to a high standard and attention to the details including electrical, plumbing and tiling work. He did more small jobs as two doors replacement, replace all sockets and switches around the house and move washing machine into our garage for a good price. We will keep his details for future projects and will recommend him. Highly skilled and easy going."
"Our new kitchen was installed with high attention to the details. Yordan kept us informed of any stage of the process. Very professional approach and professional advices. We will definitely recommend him to our friends and relatives."
"Having used Yordan in the past, we called on him again to build us a bespoke shed attached to the back of our garage. We needed a very sturdy shed that made the most of a small and awkward space. Yordan did an absolutely brilliant job! The shed is very strong and should last well over 10 years, it's much more spacious than we thought possible in that space and looks stunning. We are extremely pleased with the result and the quality of workmanship. As always, Yordan was punctual, courteous, listened to our requirements and delivered exactly what we needed. Highly recommended."

"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.
