“Got this company's details via the checkatrade site because it had good reviews and we needed a roof repair and replacement ceiling following water damage. The work they have done is excellent. James repaired the roof and took away all the rubbish, even the plasterer left the room very clean. Would definitely recommend J Jarvis.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.

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.
