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.

Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for DLS Building Services Ltd, including the highlights above. The 66 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
This was a big project, including removing a kitchen in one area of the house and adding all services for a new one in a different part of the house. From the moment we contacted DLS to the end of the project, we knew we’d struck gold. The quote was great value for money, clear communication throughout even when the unexpected cropped up, every promise was kept and the work was completed to the highest standard. Dave respected our home, kept things clean, is trustworthy and was a pleasure to work with. DLS exceeded our expectations and we love what he’s done!
Already recommended to friends & family.
Very good. Punctual, easy to get on with & did a good job.
Good in all areas. Very methodical & conscientious. Very clean & tidy. Originally did my bathroom & then got him back for my kitchen too.
Arrived early & left late when required. Very detailed work. Over the moon with the job.

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.
