“BQ Brickwork turned up to quote the job when they said, they were professional and got back to me really quickly - I appreciated this. The job was only to pop a small wall where it had fallen down in the past, but me and my partner are super impressed with the work and Ben was faultless, he seems like a top bloke and I’d definitely recommend him to friends!”

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.
