“We recently hired Martin to skim several ceilings to get rid of some truly offensive Artex and to remove an extremely 1980s-style archway. The difference is incredible. The ceilings are now perfectly smooth, modern and clean, and the space looks like it belongs in a completely different decade (in the best possible way!). The work was done to a very high standard, with great attention to detail. He was punctual, tidy, and kept us updated throughout the job. Everything was completed on time and with minimal disruption. We are delighted with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

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.
