Highlights

"I contacted Jim and he was brilliant. He came out looked at the job and provided me with a detailed estimate. He kept me informed re the beam and once it was in we confirmed the date for work to commence. He arrived when he said he would, and both him and his labourer Stuart were friendly and extremely tidy. They did an excellent job on the partition."

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 register
Never 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.
