“Very happy with the painting of whole house of walls and ceilings that Ernest has done. All work carried out very quickly and efficiently. Once one room was done all tided and furniture put back and cleaned. Very happy with the outcome.”

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.

Highlights
“Ernest and his team were fantastic from start to finish. They converted our single loft bedroom to two rooms with new dormer and also knocked through the wall between our kitchen and dining room. Despite what could have been massive upheaval they worked around our family with minimal disruption and consistency. Ernest was always quick to answer any questions and reassured us throughout the process. The whole project was done quickly and to a high standard. The guys were the most friendly and professional we’ve ever had do work on the house. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to anyone.”

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.
