What the flags above mean: they come from the official register and describe the company's current standing. They're worth asking the trader about before you commit. They reflect the registration, not directly the quality of its work. An overdue filing means a routine annual document is late at the registry, a paperwork matter, not in itself a sign of poor workmanship.

Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Gkr Builders Ltd., including the highlights above. The 60 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
I recently engaged GKR builders for building works to my house. As they were new to me and the works were vast I asked them if I could see their recently completed works and their customers were full of praise. The time & costs estimate quoted by other builders was much more as compared and GKR completed the works to our utmost satisfaction. During the works, we made changes & GKR quoted reasonable prices. After completion the inspectors attended and yesterday they issued me with the Final Certificate. I have no hesitation in recommending GKR as the team is wonderful and very professional

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.
