Highlights
“We commissioned Lawson Cook to do a structural report following some concerns raised in a Homebuyers survey. They responded quickly to our initial enquiry and communications throughout were excellent. They promptly arranged a site visit and the report followed soon after. We were impressed by the report and the detail it provided whilst still being clear to read and understand. A follow up call offered by George Cook was really helpful in enabling us to be clear on a few points. The service provided was professional, friendly and responsive and we would highly recommend them to you.”
“Had some issues trying to buy a house that had alterations made to it. LCL were incredibly helpful in providing an insight to what we needed, providing free advice with no obligation to proceed with the work. We did proceed, we got the report back quickly, it was broken down well, and they were more than happy to provide support over the phone explaining the report. They also provided further feedback and suggestions on acquiring the appropriate paperwork we needed and how we should proceed.”

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.
