Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

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

About
Thank you for visiting my Houzz profile! Work There is no job too small or too big for my team, as I fully appreciate clients have different budgets and requirements. During our first meeting, I will discuss with you your needs, ideas and budget. I will advise you best solutions and offer clear, uncomplicated pricing for my services. I fully understand that whether it is renovation works, building an extension or a new home, this is often stressful, so I will try and make it as easy and stress-free as possible. Renovations If you are looking for simple flat and home renovations, I can help with this. Apart from designing or remodelling rooms, I can suggest contractors I worked with in the past and help you with choosing materials, kitchens, bathrooms. I can offer the full renovation package. Extensions and New Homes With extensions and new homes, I will advise what would be best solution considering location and plot. I will always make sure to advise you whether the idea is cost-efficient and if it adds value to your property. 3D visualizations Unique way to see your final project are 3D visualizations. I am highly specialised in 3D architectural visualizations and this is something I offer to my clients to show the end-result even before the construction starts. This is a fantastic way for you to see if you like particular design, finish and room shapes. I can also offer this service to customers who use other architects to help visualize the design. I would be happy to discuss your needs, just call or e-mail me and I’ll be delighted to arrange a meeting. First consultation is free, so that I can understand your needs and requirements and only after our meeting, I will provide you with the pricing of my services.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
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.
Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself
"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.
