Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 6 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Magic Finish came to quote for and then paint our hall, downstairs bathroom, all skirting boards and also our daughter’s bedroom (creating a feature wall as well). We have been really impressed with Reggie’s courtesy and professionalism, even helping us to decide the colours that would work for each room. He and his team took extra care to get into the difficult to reach places like a corner with an awkward trim and the result was brilliant. He made sure everything was tidy when he left and checked in that we were completely happy with the job. Will be using again. Many thanks!”
“From the quotation stage to finishing the job, the lads from Magic Finish have been outstanding! The house was kept pristine, they covered every inch of the house, and got to work right away. Where I’ve struggled with paint and finish selection, Reggie was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The quality of work is amazing, I think I’ve found my go-to guys.”

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.
