“I chose Gareth & his team through both a combination of research across Checkatrade with particular focus on the customer reviews but also on his excellent knowledge & detailed responses at our initial meeting. The work carried out by Gareth & Steve was exceptional & to a very high standard, way ahead of time (completed in just 3.5 days) with no mess - the attention to detail was superb. I would highly recommend this firm, at every step there has been clear communication & transparency coupled with a great ethic all leading to a quality end product & a very happy & satisfied customer.”

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.
