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.

About

At Name Architects, we believe good architecture is calm, considered and rooted in how people live. Our work is guided by light, materiality and proportion, shaping homes that feel composed, enduring and quietly personal. Whether contemporary or traditional, each project begins with a clear architectural idea and a thoughtful understanding of place. We work across a broad range of residential projects, from sensitive transformations of existing homes to carefully crafted new builds. Our approach is not tied to a single style or typology, but to principles of clarity, depth and craft that consistently deliver well-resolved architecture. Constraints are approached with confidence and curiosity, seen not as limitations but as opportunities to shape spaces with character, balance and longevity. We guide our clients through every stage of the process with ease and care, offering clear advice, considered judgement and a steady hand from first ideas to completion. Many of our commissions come through repeat clients and word-of-mouth recommendations, something we value greatly and take as a measure of trust, care and pride in the work we do.

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.
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 Register
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.
