“Highly recommend Darren. From start to finish, the service was excellent. He supplied, fitted, and finished the skirting in my hall, kitchen, and lounge to an exceptionally high standard. Communication was clear and reliable throughout, and Darren was extremely helpful with advice and suggestions. The attention to detail and quality of workmanship really shows in the final finish. Everything was left tidy and completed professionally. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Darren again and would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy builder”

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.
