“Anthony came over initially to price the job up, we needed secure double doors and single front door to our motorcycle workshop. From the initial quote all the way up until completion was a pleasant experience. The lads were extremely professional and tidied up afterwards. No corners were cut and we were advised to get security hinge locks so anthony also supplied these. Quality of the work speaks for itself and we honestly recommend them for all jobs big or small. We will be using them again for another fairly big job in the new year. Excellent communication throughout.”

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 7 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Anthony and his team were absolutely wonderful. They were very friendly and informative and my new kitchen is perfect. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a good all round builder.”
“Came out and spent quite a bit of time reviewing what work needed to be done and that they were interested. However, never got back in contact and we sent texts and called but to no avail. If you do not want to do the work just say it instead of dragging it out.”

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
