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.

Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Red Oak Builders Ltd, including the highlights above. The 95 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Keen to do a good job, so waited until suitable weather conditions were forecast before arranging dates to carry out the work. Very thorough, careful work. Cracked tiles found when working on bungalow roofs were replaced. They followed HSE guidance for an asbestos cement roof. Communication good and the team were always willing to answer questions. This is the third time Red Oak Builders have carried out work for me.
Our experience was brilliant extension built as agreed. The team were great.
I think we've just found our forever building firm. 5 star service, workmanship, pricing, cleanliness. We couldn't be happier with the end result. Thank you Red Oak.

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.
