“Sean laid a new sandstone patio for us along the back of the house. He suggested we add aco drains which look good and work well. He replaced some fencing and the gate to match the style of the house which really helped to finish the job off. We then asked him back a few weeks later to build a bbq area with built in shelves and pergola. We are very happy with the work and how it all turned out.”

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
“We asked Sean to come and lay a patio in our back garden. We have used him previously for Kitchen and Fireplace and been very happy with the result. He came and chatted through the job in his usual friendly fashion and gave us a very reasonable quote and a shopping list of materials. Sean came back and did the job as planned, worked hard through some very hot weather, and within a week we had a great new patio area. The job was professional looked good and was within quote (give or take a few hobnobs). Very happy with the work as usual, and looking forward to the next job with Sean.”

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.
