“Denzil and his team provided an excellent service at my Mother's house. They kept in contact with her, let them know when they would be coming, kept to what they promised, were reliable, polite, kind and efficient.”

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.

Official checkOn the public register
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 6 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

“Excellent work completed as scheduled in budget”
Detailed reviews
Standard of workmanship was poor. Lovely people, punctual, helpful employed to insert door in back of garage, create step to this door and skim the entire area to look neat What they left me with is a garage door that is often difficult to lock/unlock, a mis mash of several types of cement (4 different colours) a step which is far from flat, large puddles on steps, cement cracking like a mosaic and generally a mess. Have had them back and they had suggestions, all of which required me to spend more money putting in right. This is over several months Photographic evidence available

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.
