“Communication with Derek was excellent. Kept up to date with changes required by building control and it was clear throughout the process of any costs involved, so no surprises. Derek didn't mix our job with any others so we were his only job for the duration of the project Other relevant trades brought in during the build were all really nice and easy to work with and all had a good standard of workmanship”

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.
