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
“Steve did an excellent job painting for us. He arrived on time, left the house tidy in between work and the painting looks great. He clearly explained everything we needed to know and was really easy to communicate with. Will have him back to do some more painting in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Sands Painting and Decorating. Steve and Joanna were very patient and informative in the lead up to the work beginning, as we had some concerns about the damp issues in the room before starting. Steve was always punctual during the 3 days painting. I was working from home in the next room and the work never once disrupted my hours - I'd almost forget it was going on! The walls, ceiling and woodwork redecoration was carried out efficiently and to a high standard, everything finished on time. The space was left beautifully clean and the new room looks fantastic.”
