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

Highlights
“The extension is in progress now and approximately halfway completed. The Company and the whole team have kept us up to date with the process and progress of the build. They have been very polite and their work has been exceptional and at all times they have been neat and tidy.”
“Mark and his team offer and deliver real service, they ask questions, think about solutions from all angles and genuinely want to achieve the best for the project. They work neatly, run an organised site, and all trades are well mannered and friendly. In addition, they pick up the phone, reply to WhatsApp messages and send regular updates on progress - I wouldn’t hesitate to give 5 stars.”
“Very happy with results! Build South East worked on the renovation of our Victorian house. They built a new bathroom for us according to my design, re-plastered some walls and ceilings, and did some smaller bits and pieces like installing a water softener. Throughout, Mark and his team were completely trustworthy, friendly and the quality of the work was excellent. Mark was responsive to my ideas and was good at presenting a menu of solutions, along with advice about pros and cons. A warning note: be prepared to be flexible about timing because starting and finishing dates tend to slide!”

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.
