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.

Highlights
“The driveway that was created is amazingly beautiful and Jimmy was professional, polite and efficient. Jimmy knew exactly what he was doing.”
“Can’t speak of Jimmy and his colleagues any higher. We were looking for someone we could trust and we found that in him. Great work, very friendly and clean. Will hire again”
“Jimmy completely replaced an aging and leaking roof box-gutter, which over previous years been patched-up very badly by various other repairers. Jimmy completed the work on-time and at the agreed cost. Jimmy kept me updated on progress each day by showing me photos of what was being done, etc. I have been using Friend & Sons for the last five years for all my house repairs and decorating; Jimmy and his team are very reliable and have a high standard of work, and I would highly recommend Friend & Sons to anyone for their house repairs and decorating.”

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.
