Michelle C5.0 / 5 ·

Mark contacted me after posting the job. He came to look first and gave a quote. I asked if it could be done quickly. He said yes after moving some things around and came back 3 days later. He arrived early and set up and didn't stop until the job was completed. I'm absolute delighted with the work he's done, its made such a difference to the front of the property. Such a nice chap too. I wouldn't have any hesitation is recommending him to anyone else.

Gillian F4.9 / 5 ·

Mark was excellent. He was quick to respond to the enquiry, visited to assess what was required and as a result advised for the need for lintels over several windows to prevent the issue recurring. He ordered and obtained the materials required and completed the work to a high standard. I would use Mark again if required and recommend him to others.

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 register
Never 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.
