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.

Detailed reviews
Jim did a very good job painting the outside of our house. He was always careful to cover down pipes and windowsills to avoid getting paint on them. He worked quickly and efficiently and we are very happy with the result.
Jimmy is an incredibly conscientious and skilled decorator. He did a full redecorate in a Study at a project of mine. We did walls, ceiling, woodwork and then two joinery units in a contrasting colour either side of a fireplace. He kindly removed an unsightly shelf from one of the walls and made good all existing snags. The work was carried out so seamlessly and efficiently and we are all over the moon with the result! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Heritage and Estate Decorating and I hope to work with Jimmy again really soon. Thank you so much for aiding such an amazing transformation!

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.
