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.

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

Highlights
“Internal doors need to be rehung after new carpets and decorating. Joiner turned up on time, took the doors outside to trim, cleaned them before bringing them back inside to hang and adjust for a perfect fit. Great job”
“Croft Building and Joinery contractors are my 'number one' builders to go to and I'd rather wait til they are free, than look elsewhere. If I could give a score of more than 10, I would. I have subjected them to many problems during my many projects and they have been professionally solved every time. The team are always pleasant, punctual and leave every job clean and tidy. My garage looked derelict before the work and now looks amazing. They take care in doing a good job and leaving the customer happy. I have used Croft Building for many years and will continue to do so for years to come.”
“Des has done work on multiple projects for me now and been involved in the construction industry myself I have worked with many contractors. I can go honestly state that Des and his team offers a very high standard of workmanship and Des is very particular in ensuring that the works are completed to a very high standard and I can therefore make a very high recommendation for this company.”

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.
