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

"Standard of work was very good, Padraic was a pleasure to deal with and gave some excellent advice which led us to change our plans slightly but for the better. I would have no hesitation in using the company again. So happy with our new space. It was actually carried out prior to 2020 but unable to select date prior to this. Its great to have a tradesman you can trust who has access to all the different trades. Thanks again"

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.
