“Wayne has been fantastic from start to finish, we can't thank him enough. We have never done a project like this before and we were very nervous about being taken for a ride by unscrupulous builders. After reading his reviews and knowing he's local, we got in touch with him. From the moment he came to quote, we knew he was the guy for the job, calm, professional and honest. He has arranged and carried out the whole project, advised us, overcome hurdles, arranged deliveries and altered plans to meet our needs, professionally and efficiently. Thoroughly recommended 1000%.”

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.
