“I hired Gimi and his team for a large side and rear extension at my home in Kidlington, Oxford, and I’m extremely pleased with the results. The project was completed to a high standard, and the price was the best in the area for the size and scope of the work. Gimi and his team were not only professional but also very helpful throughout the entire process. They offered useful suggestions and maintained great communication, keeping us updated every step of the way. The work was finished on time with excellent attention to detail. I highly recommend Gimi and his team for any building project .”

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

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.
