Darlington Developments came by personal recommendation and I was so glad I chose them to do my bathroom. From the initial contact and at every stage Matt and his team were everything you want from people doing improvements to your home. Communication is second to none and everyone is reliable and trustworthy; everything was checked and double checked with me at every stage; the workmanship is excellent with fantastic attention to detail; flexible and responsive to requests, eg I decided I needed a new window during the work and it was quickly sorted. Oh and my bathroom looks INCREDIBLE!

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

Detailed reviews
Darlington Developments were very professional and friendly. They explained everything being done and did so in a tidy manner. Would recommend them and would employ them again.
From initial consultation and planning through to completion of the work, the team were extremely professional with an approachable and helpful manner. A clear plan of works was provided and everything happened seamlessly and on schedule. All work was finished to a high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and will definitely be calling on their services again

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.
