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 3 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
"I found S&S to be very fast, efficent and professional. Was impressed with the attention to detail that ended with a great finish. Ensured any arreas they had to access whilst working in my Property were also kept clean and tidy. A very satisfied customer."
"We are very happy with the workmanship and attention to detail carried out by the S&S team. It was a big job which was well managed, they turned up every morning as planned and tidied up at the end of the day. They were trustworthy and we had no worries about giving them a key for the house, especially as we had to move out for a few weeks during the build. We would recommend them for any job big or small."
"S&S Joinery and Building Service LTD have just completed a big renovation job on our house which included moving a stair case and a full attic conversion with three dormers - making what was one room upstairs into two good sized bedrooms, a small study and a shower room. The standard of service and level of workmanship was fantastic. Gareth is a highly skilled joiner – his attention to detail and finishing skills are second to none. He was also super friendly, reliable and very communicative. We are delighted with the end result and cannot recommend Gareth and his team enough."

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.
