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.

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

Highlights
“This was a very positive experience. Great care was taken to protect the terrace, garden furniture and garage contents. The work itself is of a very high standard and Surrounded by Stone did an excellent colour match on the bricks. The work was completed within the estimated time and the site was cleaned up and restored. We would definitely recommend and use them again.”
“I used Surrounded by Stone to build a single story side return extension for my terraced Victorian house, creating a larger kitchen plus separate toilet/ utility area. Howard and his team were always punctual, tidy and good humoured. Communication was good and potential issues were explained to me and then dealt with. Access to my small house was difficult but Howard managed to deal with that as well! The work was carried out to a very high standard - I love the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the company most highly.”
“From Day 1, our experience has been fantastic. The build has been a large project having to dig out our garden, build a retaining wall, before being able to start on the extension. Howard along with Dan, were fantastic during this time, keeping us informed and project managing along with building everything. All the trades that have been brought, have been outstanding, we have had minimal disruption to our daily lives and we can’t wait to start using our new extension once the kitchen has been installed. We couldn’t recommend Howard and his team any more highly”

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.
