“We have been really impressed with Josh who has fitted 8 oak internal doors to our home. Each door was a different size and the frames needed making good. Josh worked with a colleague. They were professional arriving each day on time. Communication was excellent and when plans needed to change Josh would discuss the details with us making suggestions but allowing us to make the final decisions. We are really pleased with the finished work, all completed to the agreed price. At the end of the of the work they left the rooms in good order. We thoroughly recommended and will use again.”

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.
