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.

Official checkOn the public register
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 17 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“We have used Richard from Elmer Building Services many times including installing a new kitchen a few years ago and this month a new downstairs cloakroom / shower room. So helpful in advising what we needed, then purchased what we wanted and delivered and installed as and when needed - so we did not have rooms full of stuff! Richard also did all of the work - new ceiling, painting, tiling, plumbing, installing new kit and finishing off - a lovely job and so pleased. Great attention to detail and works around any problems he comes across. Highly recommended.”
“Richard followed up his good work of chimney and chimney breast removal in our kitchen, with a transformation of a 'kitchen from the Dark ages', to a beautiful modern kitchen. His attention to detail and reliability, along with his knowledgeable suggestions were much appreciated, (great work also by Tom). Hopefully we will be having him back to do our bathroom and toilet when we see his quote.”
“Elmer Building Services were friendly and reliable. They were knowledgeable about all subjects that I asked and answered all my questions relating to the work I wanted carried out. They did the work efficiently and effectively and I am very happy with the end results. I would strongly recommend them and will use them again in the future.”

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.
