“Kosta & Sons recently carried out a general renovation of my house which included fitting new doors and frames, bannisters and spindles, plastering, coving and knocking a separate bathroom and toilet into one room. Kosta & Sons took time to fully understand what I wanted to achieve, were respectful, competitive on price and the work was completed to a high standard. I would use again and recommend to others.”

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.
