## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Poundbury Build and Maintenance did an amazing job on our second bedroom. The old plaster was crumbling due to a previous leak, and they handled everything from repairing the damage to overboarding the ceiling replastering all the walls to an exceptionally high standard. The transformation is incredible; it feels like a completely different room, and we are so pleased with the result. The finish is also excellent, and the team went above and beyond by helping us with some additional plastering work. They were friendly, professional, and a pleasure to have around. Would 100% recommend"
> — Estelle B (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "A pleasure to work with from start to finish. Responded quickly to my requirement for new ceilings throughout my house, including plaster skim and new coving in every room. Stef came out to quote and carry out the work. Stef's knowledge, attitude and quality of work are second to none. He pointed out several challenges at the time of quote, to give me a full picture of what was required. We scheduled the work to start when I needed it, and Stef started on time. He worked quickly, with good communication, and completed the work to a very high standard. I am very happy with the end result."

## 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.
