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.

Official checkOn the public register
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 11 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Glenn is very knowledgeable guided us through the extension/renovation process. The existing roof was removed from our bungalow to allow a new roof, stairs, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to be created on the new floor. Excellent communication together with a genuine care to do a good job throughout the project were keys reasons I would recommend Riverside Carpentry. The team also renovated downstairs including installation of a kitchen, shower room and flooring. Great work from reliable builders.”
“Could not have asked for better. Quick availability, provided a quote more reasonable than most and did an outstanding job on our new wardrobe. Also friendly and attentive to all our needs and even threw in the handles that we hadn't accounted for at no extra charge. Highly recommended.”
“Overall we have been very happy with the work of Riverside Carpentry. The work was carried out to a high standard and we were kept up to date with the plans. Everyone involved in the work was a pleasure to have around the house while the work was being done.”

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.
