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

Highlights
“Raf was very easy to work with. He arrived at 8 every morning and didn't stop working until he left. He found ways around problems and consulted me about questions. Fantastic work ethic and attention to detail in the bathroom. He clearly takes pride in doing an excellent job. The electricians wanted to rewire the light switch that was installed but I don't personally know why that was or the necessity of it. I've recommended Raf to friends and even my dad who's overly critical wants to use him now which is praise in itself believe me!”
“Raf was amazing did the work swiftly and with great care. Amazing attention to detail, changed 2 pipes that were not in good condition and has great knowledge in his trade. Hard to find a builder like this in England. We really appreciate the amazing Cloakroom he did for us in a timely manner and fair price.”

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.
