“Andrew promised a lot - and they totally delivered on all counts! Having had bad experiences with other firms over-promising and under-delivering, with endless excuses and dispute, this was a really refreshing experience. Major work. Team were on time every day, worked solidly through. Polite, humour, knew exactly what they were doing, gave us some great feedback on what we had planned - and what they suggested was far better! We had additional stuff that needed doing - nothing was too much trouble. Definitely using these guys again. Top job thanks very much from us. Tim and Jane”

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“Andrew and his team were really, really good. They did the quote quickly and efficiently and it was detailed. They then fitted the work in quickly and to our timeliness. They efficiently undertook the work giving good advice as they worked with clear communication. They just got on with the work and didn’t delay or flap. You hardly knew they were there. It looks marvellous. I would and have happily recommended them. One of the best builders I’ve used. Thanks guys!”

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