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.

I used this company as they came recommended from a friend. Have to say was not disappointed! Ryan remodelled my bathroom to an extremely high standard. He was reasonable priced. Would recommend anyone to use!
Absolutely amazing company couldn’t recommend highly enough. Both gentlemen were very polite and always kept the work space an surrounding area tidy, kept us updated every step of the way. The highest standard of worksmenship i’ve seen and very meticulous in making sure everything was perfect. These guys have definitly rasied the bar for what the standard should be. Will use for any future work and have recommended to friends and family

Worth checking yourself

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.
