Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

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

Highlights
“This was the third time I’ve employed Chris to complete building works (extensions last two times). This time for an insulated studio for the garden. As always Chris is fastidious with respect to quality. Hardworking, trustworthy and a genuinely lovely person who is a pleasure to have around. Can’t recommend him enough.”
“Chris did the building work for my kitchen/utility refurbishment which included converting part of the garage, installing a toilet, digging new drains. knocking down a wall and installing a new back door. He arranged for the plasterer and plumber to arrive when required and liaised with the electrician and kitchen installer. He also installed my old back door in the garage, reconstructed the path along the side of the house and sorted out the bathroom plumbing when the kitchen ceiling was removed. Chris was an excellent worker and very helpful. I am really pleased with my new kitchen/utility.”
“Chris converted our garage conversion, refurbished a bedroom including replacing a window with French doors, replaced most internal doors, a couple of windows, replaced old consumer unit and built/installed a bespoke desk in our new study. He was fantastic from the beginning to the end of the process. He spoke us through our options, suggested solutions, booked us in, no delays, organised all the additional tradesmen who were all very professional, got the job done to a very high standard, on estimate, on time, polite, helpful, extremely good at his job. Very, very happy customer. Thanks Chris”

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.
