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.

Detailed reviews
The standard of workmanship is tremendous and a joy to have their company doing the work
Punctual and clean a good overall job
Absolutely amazing work. Thrilled with the result. This is the fifth time I have used Kirby Construction. The first was for a roof repair at a previous home in Hythe, then for a more major roof repair plus replacement soffit boards and guttering at my current address. This was followed by construction of a new conservatory. Later It was for a garage conversion into a bedroom with en suite bathroom. All work completed to the highest standard in a professional but friendly, approachable manner. Already have another home improvement project lined up for September, if Daniel is not too busy..

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.
