After researching and contacting other contractors we decided to use SMQB for our Guide wall and piling. This was a major project from the start and SMQB was very informative and always kept us up to date through out. We opted for a guid wall which worked out well in making sure the piles where accurate. Overall we was please with the out come, timekeeping was good and we kept in budget.

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.
