Highlights
"Lovely job"
"Splendid work cracking bunch of workers"
"John provided a quote, and returned to do the work at exactly the time agreed. He managed to excavate the old washing line spike despite it being embedded in a large ball of concrete, and made an extremely tidy job of installing the new one. He was friendly and courteous, and removed all rubble after the job. 10/10!"

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.
