“Had a rear extension, garage conversion and substantial renovation and changes to existing structure completed by Mike and the team. Cannot praise them highly enough! Completed ahead of time (12 weeks for a planned 16 week project), bang on budget, and excellent quality. Super helpful throughout, offering excellent value and advice, and always willing to talk through and help with decisions with not being pushy - in fact Mike often suggested and sourced a better but cheaper option which kept the same quality whilst helping us achieve our dream build. The wider team were fantastic and equally”

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.
