## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We are in the process of a significant extension of a 3 bedroom chalet bungalow type property in a n Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Conservation Area. I was impressed by Simon's understanding of what we were planning to achieve and our initial discussions were positive however my wife and I were not optimistic about getting an extension approved in a conservation area. Simon and his team did a fantastic job and achieved approval for the plans which will significantly improve the look and the value of our home. We're very pleased to recommend SWG to others!"

> "Very satisfied with our experience and would highly recommend. Very professional service with great ideas and execution. Very persistent with getting it through planning and on the ball throughout the project."

> "Simon initially helped us to obtain guidance from the local authority regarding a proposed residential extension without creating the potential of an official record in the event of a refusal. Following a positive response from the local authority he subsequently prepared the necessary documents for a full planning application and we duly received an approval. He has been straightforward to deal with, prompt and adhered to his quotations. I make an unqualified recommendation."

## 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.
