“Came round quickly after enquiry to give a quote, quote itself was fair and included a full itemised list of the exact work they'd carried out. Work had to be delayed by a day but they rescheduled for the following day. Work carried out to a very high standard, and they took significant steps to clean up after they had finished. Very satisfied with the work performed.”

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.
