We were recommended Collison & Co by our friends that had a loft and double story extension done, we had a look and the build was very impressive. We started by building a garden office so that we could work from home and then we landscaped the garden put in astro turf in and paved the rest of the garden. We renovated our granite drive way 10 years old perfect! Stuart then decorate the house inside and out side. We had a new kitchen fitted and and a couple bathrooms. One aspect of the project we we are extremely happy with was the Venetian plastering its amazing, we will post some pictures up.

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

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.
