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

Detailed reviews
No matter how small the detail was it was never missed. Communication was exceptional through out the job and the professional manner at which the tradesmen conducted themselves was truly amazing. Taking time to talk through tricky scenarios and ensure we had a full understanding of everything involved. The level of craftsmanship deliverd is second to none. Would recommend time and time again. Will be using again for all of our future projects. Thanks guys!
I highly recommend George James Construction. They have been a pleasure to work with and their work is of the highest quality. We have already talked about future projects!
Of all the builders that we had look at the issue, George James were the most knowledgeable and they tackled the actual damp problem. Excellent work and even though this was a small job for them, they went above and beyond to make sure that everything was done correctly. Will definitely use them again and highly recommend their work.

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.
