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.

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

I would always use this company as they always do an excellent job and they go out of their way to complete the work as quickly as possible .They are always friendly and always keep you well informed as to what’s happening . I’m so lucky to have found a company that I can trust .
We had our conservatory replaced by SBL a number of years of years back and they completed the job on time to a very high standard and the post-build support and indeed other non-related repair work they have provided since has always been topline. We chose to use them as Stuart and the team appeared to show an actual interest in the project and our ideas with the advice they offered proving to be sound. We have recently requested their skills again, and it has been pleasing to see the standards have not diminished.
From start to finish nothing but excellence. Stuart came out to quote which was super speedy and the installation date not promised due to covid was met ;-) just in the Nicke of time should I say! The team who installed our windows worked so hard and efficiently, such friendly guys singing and you can clearly see they work so well together. I did not expect them to put the blinds back up but they did! Which I'm really impressed by ;-) I would 100% recommend SBL for any window installation requirements 6 STARS if I could

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.
