Trading as DAWLEY ARCHITECTURAL LIMITED · Telford · Service area: Telford

Dawley Architectural Limited in short

Dawley Architectural Limited is a Dawley practice offering new builds, extensions, loft and barn conversions with planning and building-control applications handled in-house. Phone, email and the King Street address are all published, and the company has been active for several years, with a small but spotless review record.

Customer reviews are few but spotless: 5.0 from 4 Google ratings, the only public rating source we found. What counts against the practice is serious: the site presents the firm as chartered architects while the ARB register lists no architect of the director's name, so this round records it as researched but not assessed. No fee figures or insurance details are published either. Our judgement: Dawley Architectural Limited is hard to recommend until the register question is answered.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Dawley suits you for a straightforward Dawley extension or conversion, with direct phone and email contact and a small set of five-star reviews [3] [7]. What counts against it is serious: the chartered-architect wording on the site matches no listing on the ARB register [2] [5]. No fees or insurance details are published either [1].

Score summary

We researched this provider but have not scored it, because it did not meet one of our eligibility requirements.

G3 · A page on the practice site presents the business as Shropshire Chartered Architects [2]. The company's director is Stephen Maurice Dunne [6], and the ARB register searched on 4 September 2026 lists no architect of that name [5].

Questions about Dawley Architectural Limited

Is Dawley Architectural any good?

The picture is mixed. It holds 5.0 from 4 Google ratings and publishes full contact details, but its site presents the business as chartered architects while the ARB register lists no architect of the director's name. Until that question is answered we record it as researched but not assessed. Read the full review before going further.

Is Dawley Architectural ARB registered?

This cannot be sourced. The site uses chartered-architect wording, yet an ARB register search for the director's name returns no listing, so the requirement is recorded as failed. If you are considering this firm, search the register yourself and ask for an explanation in writing.

What does Dawley Architectural charge?

It publishes no fee figures, hourly rates or VAT terms. Your written quote would do the talking: ask for planning and building-control stages to be priced separately. Confirm what sits inside the fee before you agree anything, and whether VAT applies on top.

How is Dawley Architectural ranked?

It ranks outside the table: researched but not assessed, because the chartered wording on its site matches no ARB register listing. It can use the Claim a listing route to correct the record for the next round. Read the full review for the detail.
