“Great experience from start to finish with the end result far exceeding expectations. Steve and team performed all trades, plumbing, electrics, plastering, carpentry etc you name it they did it so no need for multiple trades coming and going. Steve's experience and tenacity for perfection came to the fore when faced with the challenges of an old property and a customer with little vision and design flare! Great advice and solutions. Professional, creative, friendly, trustworthy and reliable. I would highly recommend.”

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.
