“Duncan and his son Ben did an amazing job renovating our bathroom. The work included insulating the room, dropping the height of the ceiling, fitting downlights, fiting the bathroom suite, repositioning the toilet, building a vanity unit and a towel cupboard, and tiling. I've used this company for various projects and I've always been super happy with the quality of work. Duncan is great at providing suggestions on everything from cupboard handles to paint colour. We had a small problem with a creaking tile which he fixed promptly so after sales service is also top notch.”

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.
