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

Mr Shah was very knowledgeable and helpful and explained the work needed fully
I am so glad I chose Pioneer to fix a damp problem in my basement flat and replaster - this company were a pleasure to deal with. They were very responsive and provided a detailed breakdown of their quote. Communication was excellent before, during and after the work was carried out. Pioneer explained everything and were so helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Work was completed quickly and they left the site in a good condition. Work was guaranteed and the guarantee came through promptly. I would highly recommend this company.
Outstanding service and work. We are using them for another phase of work.

Highly recommend, very professional, clean did exactly what they said they would do in the time they said they would without any additional cost.
Unfortunately, I can not remember the guys names who came to out house, but the work they did was excellent. They fully explained what they were going to do, and then carried it out exactly. When the plastering was completed, and we subsequently repainted the walls were the damp was, you could not see the join between the new and old plaster work.

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.
