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.

Detailed reviews

Anonymous4.4 / 5 ·

The scope included the removal of internal wall, and extension to existing kitchen and dining room, plus installation of kitchen and all services. This created an open plan kitchen and much enhanced living area with roof skylight. Quotation stated timelines of 10/12 weeks, project completed within this timescale despite extra works to garden fencing and driveway that were not originally included in scope of works. The guys were all engaging and reliable with a very good standard of workmanship achieved. We are very pleased with end result and would contract again plus recommend.

Ben and Luke and the team did a fantastic job - they were efficient, diligent and very professional and they also have a great network in the trade. We are really pleased with the finish! Their communication throughout the build was excellent and we have already recommended them to other friends who have upcoming projects.

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 register
Never 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.
