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.

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 13 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“I have used Lacho from Petkov Building Services Ltd twice now. The first was a loft and rear extension which took place over 1 year from 2021-22. Lacho was polite and professional - he was honest throughout and he is approachable. His plastering work is particularly of very good quality and I would recommend him highly. Lacho is now doing a loft and rear extension for a second property of mine in Manor Park and am pleased with the progress and works so far.”
“Lacho and his team are very reliable and dedicated to the service they provide. Lacho assisted me with some design changes which were a great addition to my extension, and reassured me throughout their work progress. Alongside, the quality of work was always kept at high standards, as I never had any building work done prior to this extension, they supported me with the choice of materials and kept me up to date with the progress of the extension. I would not hesitate to recommend or hire again.”

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.
