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

Highlights
“Steve and the team did a great job with the designs for our single story extension. Always quick with sending over little tweaks and changes at our request. Did a great job chasing the council to get us a positive decision in little to no time at all. Overall very happy with the service and would recommend.”
Detailed reviews
We are pleased with the design Parkers have produced for us for our upcoming project. Their fees were reasonable and included as many changes as we wanted throughout the design process. They also managed the planning permission application and provided recommendations on builders and building inspectors. We did have to chase a few times for responses on certain points and some of our requirements were missed following the initial survey, but the team were helpful in rectifying these things.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
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.
