“Toby was quick to visit and quote for us and took time to make sure we were choosing exactly the right products. He was always on time and communicated brilliantly through the whole project. He tidied up every day and was polite, friendly and organised through the works, keeping the house clean and minimising disruption. Very polished professional job on replacing all our interior doors with some clever solutions when small problems (to do with previous work) arose. Would highly recommend him!”

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.
