“I recently had Dave Ritchie and his team reroof and insulate an old extension, as well as replace a door and window. I’m really pleased with the result – the quality of workmanship is excellent. Dave gave a fair price, kept to the agreed timeframe, and kept me informed throughout. The team were punctual, tidy, and friendly, which made the whole process straightforward and stress-free. I’ll definitely be using Dave again for future work and have no hesitation in recommending him to others.”

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

Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.

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.
