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 4 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“What can I say Dave previously done our extension and installed our kitchen last year and done an amazing job. He has now returned this year to install our utility room and re-lay our garden patio. Once again Dave’s work has been outstanding and his attention to detail is superb. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Dave to carry out any of your works he truly is outstanding.”
“I would like to say a big thank you to Dave Fry the owner of Fry Brickwork for the works he has just completed on my property. Dave is a very polite man and is very professional and has a very methodical approach to his work. During our build Dave also came up with some great ideas which made our final product much better than the way the architect had planned our drawings to which I am so grateful for. Dave’s brickwork was absolutely superb and all of the internal works plastering, painting and the fit of my kitchen are all fantastic. Thank you so much for all your hard work.”
“We can highly recommend Fry brickwork. From start to finish, Dave and his team were professional, hardworking, tidy and trustworthy. Dave’s brickwork and carpentry were first class. Dave is a perfectionist and it is if he is working on his own home. Cannot praise him enough!! Thank you Dave!”

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.
