“We had an 8 month extension carried out by Steve and his team. The biggest positives were that Steve was always contactable, he always answered his phone and he was great with communication and sorting out any questions or issues. He was also very present on the job from the start to the end. Another big positive was that the tradespeople Steve used were good at their jobs and were nice to have around (quite a big thing if you're having a lot of work done). I trusted Steve and found him to be very fair, especially when snags came up (like they do in any job).”

Highlights
“Very professional and friendly”
“Steve did this job very quickly and for a good price. Everything was done to a high standard and Steve’s communication was always really good - if I asked a question I always got an answer within an hour or two and often immediately. I would definitely recommend this contractor!”

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.
