“Required a 9m long wooden fence with wooden fence posts. Approx. 2.5m tall. Fence posts were installed in a concrete base. Dan is friendly and keeps in touch. Quote arrived promptly, organised work promptly and arrived when he said he would. He and Andy got on with the job with no messing around. They kept everything as tidy as it could be, put rubbish in the bin etc. When they'd finished they said goodbye and invoice arrived that night and he acknowledged when the payment had gone through. An easy experience.”

Worth checking yourself

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.
