“This was a tricky fix trying to seal up a badly put in glass roof over a dining area. Carl and Tony thought long and hard and came up with a plan for outside sealing and insulation inside all neatly boxed in with wood. I’ve just finished painting it today and it looks so much better with no draught coming in anywhere. They worked to their time schedule despite the pouring rain and cleaned up well at the end. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.

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.
