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 14 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

About
Greenway Associates is an architectural design practice specialising in innovative and versatile homes for our clients. I am passionate about design and helping people transform their houses from Ugly Ducklings to beautiful swans. With 28 years experience, our main aim is to transform lives with our architectural work. Wayne Greenway, director, puts professionalism, quality and efficiency at the top of his priorities. I am known for going the extra mile as stated in some of the Houzz reviews. I bring the Caribbean sunshine into the architecture. Wayne's love for building work came from a small childhood obsession with Lego! Now his toys are just a little bigger and he still gets the same thrill out of creating something innovative, stylish and entirely suited to his clients (though arguably with less bright yellow bricks!). Eight years ago, after being employed for 20 years, I had an epiphany and said, I can do it on my own - I can do it on my own - I can do it on my own! So, I did. Wayne is an excellent communicator with the ability to work with you to create a home you'll love to live in. transforming the social hub of the home , i.e. the kitchen, the dining and the living rooms as well as developing strategies for ensuring delivery of relevant projects against targets and deadlines. I love helping people and wanting to see the smile on their faces. Our team works tirelessly with you from start to finish, securing permissions, creating your drawings and project managing your whole process until the completion of your build.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.

"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.
