“I'd previously used RB Plastering and Damp Proofing for some work in my dining room and was very impressed. When I needed damp proofing in the kitchen doing, Ryan did the same great job of fixing the problem. This time, I was having a new kitchen at the same time and Ryan organised the joiner, electrician and plumber to come in after the damp proofing and fit the kitchen, which I'm very grateful for. Daily voice notes and videos kept me up to date whilst I wasn't living at the property and the house was left tidy afterwards. Very impressed with the jobs done again. Thanks.”

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
“We had an issue with some damp. Ryan quoted us a price which we were more than happy with. Told us it would take a couple of days to sort out the problem which it did. Ryan turned up on time not only to do the job but also to give us the quote. Kept us informed throughout the day with videos and voice messages while we were at work. Kept everywhere clean and tidy. The joiner came a couple of days after to put on skirting boards and he also did a lovely job. Received a phone call the same day from Ryan to ask if we were happy with the work. I would highly recommend Ryan and his team.”
“After various Quotes Ryan explained clearly the problem and identified the cause. He was clear with the process and timescales and I received a comprehensive quote. He arrived 8am and the work was carried out efficiently over a few days - at the end of each day he explained where he was up to and the next stage - he provided a joiner to sort skirting boards as well as a plumber for the radiator. After the work was completed everywhere was tidy and mopped. Ryan kept in contact to ensure each stage was followed through. Ryan is very knowledgable, trustworthy as well as being a lovely person”

Roofing isn't licensed, so anyone can set up - and it's a trade with more than its share of cowboys. A big re-roof must meet building regulations; CompetentRoofer (the Government-authorised NFRC scheme) registers roofers who can self-certify that, and vets and inspects them at least twice a year. Check they're on it before you hire.
Check the CompetentRoofer registerNever agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note. That is the classic roofing scam.
Get a written quote that itemises access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee, not a vague day rate.
Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
