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

Highlights
“Adam Wakeford excellent in helping us select a new fire and fireplace. His colleague Alex Morgan did a brilliant job removing the old fire/fireplace and installing the new ones. I would highly recommend them to others.”
“We had a good look at the range in their showroom, which was really helpful in deciding between real, gas, or electric stoves. Good advice was given throughout the process, and we're really pleased with the final result. Time will tell if we find the electric unit as cosy as a log burner, but the maintenance will certainly be easier, and the planet will thank us too!”

Roofing isn't licensed, so anyone can set up - and it's a trade with more than its share of cowboys. A big re-roof must meet building regulations; CompetentRoofer (the Government-authorised NFRC scheme) registers roofers who can self-certify that, and vets and inspects them at least twice a year. Check they're on it before you hire.
Check the CompetentRoofer registerNever agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note. That is the classic roofing scam.
Get a written quote that itemises access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee, not a vague day rate.
Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
