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.

Highlights
“I've been using Reliable Scaffolding for years now, as I am running a decorating company and I know how important is to get quality service. They are always on time, high professionals, great communication skills and what's also important - got competitive prices. I highly recommend these guys, as they are very reliable not only by name but by reputation as well.”
“Michael and the team at reliable scaffolding were fantastic. All very polite, on time and conscientious of our neighbours. Scaffolding was needed to replace some guttering and downpipe which other companies said was too small of a job but not for these guys. The price was also very competitive. The scaffolding was put up and taken down on the days agreed with no hassle. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again.”
“Michael and the team did a cracking job on our new build, wrapped the scaffold around the house and added levels as the walls went up. They also installed a scaffold birdcage for us on the inside as a temporary middle floor because we wanted to install the middle floor after the roof was installed. Cannot recommend Reliable Scaffolding highly enough.”

Worth checking yourself

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.
