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 [1] [2]. Phone, email and the King Street address are all published, and the company has been active on the record since 2017 [1] [3]. The site covers conversions and listed-building work in-house [1] [2]. Planning and building-control applications are covered in-house [1] [2].

Past customers rate the practice at full marks so far, with Google reviews giving 5 from 4 reviews [6]. With fewer than five reviews, that score counts for less than a larger base would [6]. No fee scale, hourly rate, call-out fee or VAT position is published on the site [1] [2]. Phone, email and street address are published together on the site [1] [2].

Dawley Architectural Limited is listed rather than ranked because a page on the practice site presents the business as Shropshire Chartered Architects while the ARB register lists no architect of the director's name [2] [4] [5].

In our judgement, the practice suits a straightforward Dawley extension or conversion where direct contact matters [1]. The clear service range and full-marks reviews count in its favour, while the chartered wording against a blank ARB record, with no fees or insurance detail, counts firmly against it [2] [4] [1]. This review finds a contactable local practice whose title wording does not check out. The company has been active since February 2017 [3].

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 [1] [6]. What counts against it is serious: the chartered-architect wording on the site matches no listing on the ARB register [2] [4]. No fees or insurance details are published either [1].

Questions about Dawley Architectural Limited

Is Dawley Architectural Limited any good?

The practical signs are fair: a clear service range with planning work in-house, direct phone and email contact, and Google reviews giving 5 from 4 reviews [1] [2] [6]. The serious mark against it is the chartered wording on the site with no matching ARB listing, plus no fees or insurance detail [2] [4]. In our judgement it suits simple local jobs, listed rather than ranked.

Is Dawley Architectural Limited an ARB-registered practice?

That can't be sourced as claimed. A page on the practice site presents the business as Shropshire Chartered Architects, yet the ARB register searched lists no architect of the director's name [2] [4] [5]. The director is named on the company officers record [5]. That mismatch is why the practice is listed rather than ranked.

Why is Dawley Architectural Limited not ranked?

It is a researched listing for architectural technologists in Telford, not a ranked place.

What does Dawley Architectural Limited charge?

The record gives no prices at all: no fee scale, hourly rate, call-out fee or VAT position is published on the site [1] [2]. The site gives a phone number and an email address, which are the routes on the record for asking about fees [1] [2]. Nothing on charges can be checked online.

What do the reviews of Dawley Architectural Limited say?
