Official checkOn the public register
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 16 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Lovely family business, very helpful and fitted us in to a tight schedule. Did a great job on our driveway and were very pleasant to deal with.
Brian and his team did a fantastic job of laying new tarmac on our drive and yard. They were very thorough and easy to work with. We would certainly use them again if we ever have a need and could not recommend them highly enough.
the work was done with great efficiency by a marvellous and friendly team. I heartedly recommend BJ Parrett and Son

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
