Work may still be offered under this name, but the registered entity behind it cannot be held to account the way an active one can.

Victoria5.0 / 5 ·

Dom has been brilliant from the start and this is the third project we have used him on. Unlike many tradespeople he is incredibly helpful and always on time and fair in price. He’s happy to come and discuss what needs doing and the options, if there are any. We have had so many tricky tradespeople and I would recommend Dom to anyone. The finish of his work is excellent.

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 register
Never 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.
