## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Patrick and Rick have again done an amazing job, this time plastering and painting our open plan front room. They are so polite and friendly and helpful. they clean up after themselves each day. They are flexible and supportive of our ideas and find solutions where we need them. They worked around my shift work and dog! Sophie and Patrick with provide quick and simple communication from start to finish and I would 100% recommend them."

> "After AO had poorly installed a hob into our worktop, we needed new worktops professionally installed as to not disturb existing tiling. The worktops were supplied and installed along with a hob and new tap / sink. Patrick was professional throughout the installation, punctual and friendly - even with our grumpy dog! Work was completed to a very high standard. We will look to use Universal Development again for future projects in our house."

> "We recently had our bathroom completely refitted and couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was friendly, professional, punctual, and highly skilled. The workmanship was top-notch — everything from the tiling to the plumbing and fixtures was done with great attention to detail. They cleaned up at the end of each day and were respectful of our property. It was all completed on time and within budget, with no unexpected costs. Highly recommend their services to anyone."

## 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.
