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.

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

Highlights
“First time using Gareth Would definitely recommend Gareth 5***** Foundations and oversite concrete laid on extension first class job Polite no messing about left site very tidy Refreshing to have a builder you can relied on”
“Excellent work and very friendly and efficient o a job with very difficult access( Cornwall) Gareth and his co worker left the site very tidy. We are pleased with his work and thoroughly recommend him for building work”
“Gareth is an absolute star and gentleman. No nonsense, no faff, really easy to deal with, speedy quotes, honoured the quotes, came to site when he said he would. The work itself was exemplary, really good quality of workmanship and dealt with the unexpected calmly and quickly. We had some complications with the project (supplier of patio doors mis-measured and some boundary issues with a neighbour) that delayed things for him but he never complained and in fact got involved to resolve things for us, for example sourcing the correct sized patio doors.”

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.
