“Chris completed our one-story extension; a new porch and front room. Chris is honest, hard working and reliable. These qualities were important after our previous experience of an extension. The final costs were less than £1000 above the original quote, and this was due to the dig-down, which we knew could carry an extra costs. Chris always stuck to dates and times agreed. His work ethic is incredible; he would stay until the day’s work was complete to make sure everything stayed on schedule. Most importantly, if we have a future building work, Chris will be our first choice.”

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.
