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 10 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Great communication all the way through- Steve and his team were brilliant- they were respectful, polite and hard working. The workmanship is amazing and we are really happy with the amazing finish on our 3 bathrooms”
“Steve Merrell is a knowledgeable, creative and conscientious guy who isn't scared of getting his hands dirty, if that's what it takes to achieve the desired end result for the project. We've used him several times, and have him booked for more work next month.”
“What can we say about Steve's work, but Brilliant! He has recently changed our bathroom into a beautiful shower room. He is punctual, pleasant to have around, and really knows what he is doing. This has been a worry free renovation from start to finish. The guys who work with him are the same. The finish is top notch, and we would have no hesitation in recommending him for kitchen and bathroom fitting. You will not be disappointed.”

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.
