Highlights
“I am extremely pleased with the quality of work carried out by Sam. I had a significant leak in my ceiling, and he responded promptly, first capping the leak to prevent further damage. He then returned with the correct pipes, carried out the full repair, and carefully restored the ceiling. This required making an access hole, which he later repaired seamlessly so that the finish looked as good as new. In addition to resolving the plumbing issue, Sam also decorated one of my rooms. The walls needed to be skimmed, and he completed this with great attention to detail. The final result is smooth,”
“3rd time we have hired Sam and as always perfect. This time installed a loft ladder and plywood floorboards in loft. Really tricky angles to make it work but he’s done a great job, very neat and tidy, nicely painted new loft door so looks good as well, everything sorted. Nicest, most hardworking bloke and never any fuss. Would recommend to anyone.”

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.
