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

“The guys at SJ Construction saved us after we had been done over by another builder. The team were quick and efficient with their work, took pictures with progress so we knew what was going on. Just a shame I didn’t use them the first time round. Would use again for any further work.”

“Seb and Jamie came and quoted to fit our new kitchen plus electrics and plastering. All the work took just under 2 weeks and we're very happy with their work and our new kitchen. Work was achieved in a quicker lead time then quoted”

“Lovely extension and new kitchen built by SJ Construction. Seb was very professional, calm and thoughtful, he worked with me when there were changes and always had helpful suggestions, nothing was too much trouble - he went above and beyond - I can't recommend him highly enough.”

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 register
Never 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.
