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
“Shaun provided a good service when fitting 5 internal doors today, particularly with how he handled the non-standard size door to ensure we were happy with how the outcome would look. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shaun for door fitting. There are other doors in our house to change we would have Shaun to do these when the time arrives.”
“Great communication, great price, turned up on time and did a really quality job. Very friendly, polite, neat, tidy, and professional. Very happy with the work done and would thoroughly recommend SDS Joinery 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.
