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

Detailed reviews
Des was excellent throughout. We have had a few builders along the way and by far I would recommend Des above all others. His work is of the highest standards and cannot be faulted. It was a pleasure and is a pleasure to recommend Des. Hope to use you again sometime
Des gave us a fair price on the extension that we wanted and could start in a reasonable amount of time. The work took longer than expected but we were informed of everything that was happening and what would happen. We trusted Des with a key and the work was completed whilst we were at work all day; the house was always cleared and how we left it. He also thought about the kids and dogs and advised us on what could affect them. Des carried out the high quality work on our house and knew reliable people that could help us fit our new kitchen, flooring ect. Would highly recommend!
Des and his team demolished and rebuilt a garage for us. They were friendly and professional throughout and kept everything very tidy. The standard of work is excellent. We were so impressed with the garage that we got Des back to lay us a new patio in the garden. This is the most solid patio that I've ever seen! Overall, we were very impressed with Des' work and would absolutely recommend him. We will definitely use Des 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.
