([Overview](https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/name-architects-3#overview)) _From public sources, July 2026._ ## 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.

Where we hold a date, the check shows it. ## Before you hire an architect _What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_ - 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. ## Contact - Phone: 07866 534914 - Website: http://name-architects.com --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/name-architects-3 Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 3 named public sources.
