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.

James and his team have rescued our kitchen project - they were highly flexible, fast workers, great quality and we would totally recommend them. Really pleased with the work they’ve done to insulate and level our kitchen floor and insulate our kitchen walls - and get our project back on track!
The whole experience from start to finish was first class. Well done James and team. Very skilled, helpful and tidy. Excellent communication throughout. Thank you James, and the biscuits will be restocked before the next job. Geoff 👍

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.
