Highlights
“After a pipe leak caused damage to the floorboards of our bathroom and WC , Paul removed the existing damaged floorboards and installed moisture rated chipboard. The work was completed to a high standard with great attention to detail. Paul was very professional; he arrived on time and left the work area tidy. I highly recommend Paul and his company, Grace & Favour, for their services. I plan to use them again”
“Arrived on time. Carried out work required to very high standard. Left leaving no sign of any rubbish . First class work ethic. Would recommend to anyone”

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.
