They stepped in and stepped up to save us when our previous contractor ghosted us and left us in the lurch with a garden full of materials and no work completed. All the work they carried out was spot on and completed to a very high standard. We threw them plenty of curve balls with this project and it didn’t phase them at all. Great having them around and will miss the banter.

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.
