Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dan and his team, they did a fantastic job on our double storey extension. The work was completed to a really high standard and Dan went out of his way on numerous occasions to ensure me and my young children were able to live in the property comfortably throughout! Dan was great at keeping us informed about any problems and was able to solve any issues quickly and to our budget.

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.

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

Detailed reviews
The reason my build went so well and stayed within budget was entirely down to Dan. He made sure he understood the work requested in advance in order to be able to prepare an accurate quote. He provided an easy to follow payment schedule and throughout the work communication was easy. Every specialist trade he has brought to site has been polite and skilled. He has been an adaptable collaborator when the kitchen fitters (I used Wren's own... lesson learnt there!) messed up and we had to solve for their mistakes. We are just wrapping up now and I may even miss him!
So happy we used Dan and the team on our extension. We had a difficult project due to poor planning by a project management company. Dan was able to work with us directly to recognise issues with the plans and find clever solutions for some quite difficult situations. He really cares about doing a good job and prioritises workmanship above everything. His team were always friendly and turned up on time. My wife was heavily pregnant throughout the build and it was reassuring when I went to work each day that they were looking out for her as we lived in the house through the renovations. A+++

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.
