Official checkOn the public register
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 5 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Lutfi did a great job repairing my garage. He kept in contact throughout the whole process, and had great patience with long delays from the insurers before the works could commence. He was very clear about how the works would be done, and did them to a high standard. I trusted him to get the job done properly, and would use him again. Thank you Lutfi.”
“Build Mode took on challenging drilling job, which other contractors had turned down, helping to route some fibre-optic cable in our block of flats. The team were professional and courteous throughout, and gave particular consideration to the fact that the work was taking place in communal areas. We would have no hesitation in recommending Build Mode, and we would gladly use them again.”
“I needed my bathroom and kitchen flooring replacing due to the wood rotting due to water exposure. Lutfi quickly replied to my query and came to visit me within 24 hours to look at the job. He really impressed me with his knowledge and ideas from the outset and he quickly provided me with a quote. He arranged a day and time to suit my work schedule and from start to finish, Lutfi and his team were informative at every stage of the job. During the job, they found a small leak in my toilet and fixed it. Really pleased with the job. Highly recommended.”

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.
