“I can't recommend GCR highly enough - they've been reliable, courteous and hardworking throughout. They've done a fantastic top quality job. They've kept us informed and involved and have accommodated all of our requests. They've reduced the impact of building work on us as much as possible and it's been as painless as it could have been. We are just coming to the end and we're thrilled with the results.”

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.
