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.

Mark knocked a partition wall down for our terrace house, he then plastered and moved the electric sockets. As well as a plastering, he also replaced a joist and several floor boards due to them being rotten. The work was done to a very high standard and I would strongly recommend MJL plastering & building services.
Mark was able to replace our soffit and fascia in wood rather than just covering with uPVC like we were being offered with others. It has made such a difference to the look of the house. Would definitely recommend
