Highlights
“We had Martin and his team from T D Everything build us a log cabin in our garden, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, communication was excellent, and every stage of the build was done with care and attention to detail. They handled everything — from preparing the ground to the final finishing touches — and the workmanship is top notch. The cabin looks fantastic and feels solid and well-built. The team was punctual, tidy, and respectful of our space, and Martin made sure we were happy with each step before moving on. Highly recommend T D Everything for anyone”

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.
