“After another trade did an unsatisfactory job rebuilding our chimneys, we contacted Ricky to repoint the mortar. The chimneys now look significantly neater thanks to Ricky's work. We found Ricky to be very friendly and have a positive attitude throughout. Thanks Ricky!”

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
“Ricky & his team have done quite a few bits in the house for us. Recently they stepped into the breach, post flood, to re-lay the ground floor of the house. The team are friendly & professional and always do as they say they will. Ricky is a real treasure of a man. When writing reviews, I ask myself would I recommend this person to a family member; did we get value for money; was the work to a good standard and do I trust this person. The answer to all those questions as far as Ricky & his team is concerned, is an emphatic YES. Ricky will always be our first port of call. Many thanks.”

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.
