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

Ive now used The Local Wrought Iron Company several times over the last few years and have found them an excellent company to deal with. The standard of workmanship is excellent and so is the customer service. I would highly recommend them Andy A W BUILDERS
From the on site survey with a few practical suggestions to the final clear away, very satisfied with the supply and fit of my new double gates; metal post/frame/composite board infill and marine grade fittings. Day 1; Old gates and framing removed, site made good with removal of existing concrete post and new posts aligned and concreted in. Day 2; Delivery and fitting of new gates, all debris removed and site left tidy despite the my own work in progress in the area! Would consider this company for future work or to recommend. Great team, thank y'all.
Brilliant! Highly recommended. Jim came to the house, took a few measurements and very vaugue idea of our idea for a gate. He went away and shortly afterwards our amazing gate was installed.

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.
