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 8 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Ian and his team did an excellent job replastering two bedrooms. Great communication from the beginning and honest thoughts on where to spend and save our money.”
“We have employed Ian (All Purpose Improvements ) before to do carpentry work and had no hesitation in asking him and his team do demolish an old rotten staircase with a new improved staircase. The new design is safer and better all round. He and Mike also stripped out a kitchen making safe to create a new room. Pipes were cut, holes filled, skirting fitted… all done professionally. Ian and Mike are pleasant, reliable and honest. I will definitely use AllPurpose Improvements again.”

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.
