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

Highlights
"Great workmanship, very thorough and tidy. Great job with the stairs (stripped, sanded, filled). Then designed and built bespoke bookshelves, and bathroom cabinet- looks amazing."
"A difficult job in a confined space with access restricted by bend in the staircase. Excellent job done by Darren. Such a fine piece of work, its a pithy I have to cover it up with stair carpet!"
"Darren did a splendid repair job on the hole in the floor and I was very pleased with his mat - well. He was very easy to communicate with, reliable on time, and charged a fair and reasonable price. Highly recommended!"

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.
