“Ian was from the first contact professional and knowledgeable. He assessed the problem and gave us options to resolve the water ingress. He was flexible about time frame and carried out the work to the highest level. We only have praise for his work. (See photo of work in progress) We would definitely use his service again.”

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.

Highlights
“I J Builders restored a badly frost damaged external window sill on an C18 Grade II listed building. The work was painstaking and required specialist knowledge of the materials and construction of the building. The work took a number of weeks due to the processes involved and the unreliable weather. Photographic updates were provided and the work was completed on budget. The finished work blends naturally with the rest of the building.”

Worth checking yourself

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.
