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.

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

Highlights
“Brilliant job, Ian is a true perfectionist in his craft and did a beautiful job hanging 5 x internal doors. Always leaving everything hoovered, clean and tidy at the end of each day. So helpful and knowledgeable too on other home improvement projects I am considering. Highly recommend.”
“I was very fortunate to engage Ian Douglas for the renovation of my lounge. Removal of a 1970's sandstone fireplace, sandstone bar, building new chimney breast, laying 80 square metes of hardwood flooring, building a bespoke staircase (which is outstanding, supply and fitting of 10 new doors and boxing in the electrical box. Excellent work. Ian put me in contact with a first class plasterer, Marty Douglas. Also a first class electrical contractor, Trevor Dawson. I would recommend Ian Douglas to anyone who wants quality work with dates being kept on schedule. Outstanding over a few months.”

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.

Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
