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

The team at Ben Davis Building carried out a major renovation and extension to my property. It involved effectively knocking down half my house and re-building it. They did an excellent job. Ben's attention to detail to make sure the finished build was to a good quality which was what makes him stand out against other builders. I was a very hands one client which seemed to work out well and he kept us informed throughout the build. I would recommend him and his team.
Ben and his team were excellent. Very friendly and professional throughout and most importantly carried out the work to a great standard. Ben went above and beyond to make sure the job was done as well as possible, doing so for a fair price. I would highly recommend
We purchased a house which had poor layout, surrounded by walls and no natural light. Ben guided us through the planning and his work was outstanding. The team he brought in were not only skilled and reliable but also genuinely friendly and thoughtful. We had anticipated a stressful time, but instead we enjoyed the whole process. Every tradesman was great with our kids and highly anxious dog, which made such a difference. The quality of the work is excellent, and the experience exceeded our expectations. We would not hesitate to recommend Ben and his team to anyone that needed a builder.

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.
