Tony Rowland Architectural Services in short
Tony Rowland Architectural Services is a Broseley sole trader specialising in traditional extensions, barn conversions and listed-building work. The site shows deep vernacular craft, from stonework to ironmongery detailing, with measured surveys and planning and regulations drawings in-house. The first consultation is free near home, followed by a written breakdown quotation.
Customer reviews are few: 4.0 from 4 Google ratings, the only public rating source we found. Office and mobile numbers plus an email address are published. What counts against the practice is formal paperwork, with no company record, fee figures, opening hours or insurance details published, and an ARB register search listing no architect of that name.

Questions about Tony Rowland Architectural Services
Is Tony Rowland any good?
On the evidence, yes for traditional work: vernacular extensions, barn conversions and listed-building jobs sit at the heart of the site, with a written breakdown quotation promised. Reviews are few and no company record or insurance details exist. Phone with photographs of the building.
Is Tony Rowland ARB registered?
This cannot be sourced. An ARB register search for the name returns no listing, and the site claims no architect title, presenting traditional design services instead. If registration matters to you, ask directly and verify the answer yourself. Get everything in writing.
What does Tony Rowland charge?
No fee figures or VAT terms are published, though the first consultation is free near Broseley and quotes come as a written breakdown. Ask for each stage to be priced separately in that breakdown. Confirm what sits inside the fee before you agree anything.
