Fencourt provided excellent architectural services. Raza was quick to respond to our request and really helpful throughout the process. He did a survey, listened to our wishes and promised to have the drawings finished within two weeks, which he promptly lived up to. Once receiving the drawings, he made sure we were happy with them and offered advice. We can highly recommend Fencourt's services and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.

Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 9 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Detailed reviews
Raza was really accommodating from the start, especially as I initially went with another architect - Raza fitted me in when they let me down. Helped me get ideas down into drawings so I can start the journey of finding tradespeople to carry out the work and give them an idea of what I am after to complete my home. Thanks very much.
Raza was polite and even came on Sunday morning to take measurements. He worked quickly and produced good quality plans. He kept in regular touch with me and repeatedly sought comments on the drafts he produced. He also met deadlines. The result was planning permission granted. I couldn't have done it without his service.

"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 RegisterOnly 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.
