Ben and his team completed an amazing job on my extension and we could not be happier with the finished product. From the moment we met Ben we knew he was the right person to take on the work, hes very honest in his approach and is passionate about what he does. The price he gave us was slightly higher than the other quotes but was worth the money. Id have no problems in recommending Caines Building and Restoration to anybody.

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

Detailed reviews
Ben is a very polite and concsciousness young man. After our initial disscution he took on and managed the project doing his best to keep the cost down. I would employ him to do more work for me and wiil recommend him to friends in the future.
The quality of the work is excellent, we worked closely with Ben to achieve the design and finish we wanted and the value for money is fantastic. I would highly recommend Ben.

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.
