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.

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

Highlights
“Andy and his team did a brilliant job converting our garage into an office. We are extremely happy with the end product. Andy was great to work with, flexible to changes, on time, on budget; plus he and the team were friendly and respectful of our home.”
“Andy Watkins and his team recently completed a side extension and utility/kitchen installation along with some additional renovations. The end result looks fantastic and is testament to the skill and care of the trades that Andy assigned to the job, as well as Andy’s willingness to sort things out if there was ever a snag. I would thoroughly recommend Andy and his team.”
“We had AWBuilders build our new home and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The team was hardworking, reliable, and always on time. They were incredibly accommodating throughout the entire build, making the process smooth and stress-free. The quality of their work is exceptional, and their attention to detail really shows in the finished product. We absolutely love our new home and can’t recommend AWBuilders highly enough—top-notch builders who truly care about their work and clients.”

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.
