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

Detailed reviews
Provided exemplary guidance, service and solutions at a competitive price including replacing 2 bathroom suites, fittings and tiling as well as fitting wooden flooring, electrical fittings and decorating 2 bedrooms. Very happy with the work and will not hesitate to use Karl and his team again.
We required a new bathroom and shower together with complete tiling. We also needed new radiators installed upstairs and downstairs. All the work carried out was completed on time and without any problems. We were very happy with the results and would highly recommend this company and its workers.
Hard working , reliable, to an excellent standard . I highly recommend Karl and his team.

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.
