Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Good Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.
 
Charges: 100%
Before starting work, did the firm explain the charges including labour, materials, callout & VAT (as appropriate)?
 
Timing: 100%
Before starting work, did the firm explain when the work was expected to start and finish?
 
Payment: 97%
Before starting work, did the firm explain how to pay (e.g. cash, cheque, etc.)?
 
Reliable: 100%
During the work, did the firm keep their promises, explaining and agreeing any changes about the work, costs or timing where necessary?
 
Invoice: 92%
On completion, did the firm give you an invoice showing the cost of materials, labour and VAT?
 
Guarantee: 92%
On completion, did the firm give you a guarantee for a specified amount of time, or usage (where applicable)?
You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

Painting hall and stairs including 5 new doors

"I have used Fraser before and he did a great job. This time he painted my stairs and hall (including 5 new doors). Again he did an excellent job, he comes when he says he will and doesn't leave any mess. If you are looking for a reliable painter who will do an excellent job for you I recommend you give Fraser a call. I definitely will be using him in the future"

Prepare newly fitted ceiling ready for painting.
Strip existing wallpaper/ prepare walls.
Hand new paper
Emulsion walls. Hang finished wall paper paint all wood work
"Decorate bedroom"
 
Cost: £450

"I choose F.Cook & Sons because of the ratings and recommendations on trusted traders website. Fraser contacted me and arranged to visit my property and we agreed on the date work required and quote. Fraser kept in contact with me as I was waiting on the joiner fitting the new ceiling, and he contacted me 1 week before to confirm date and time. Price quoted was extremely reasonable and he carried out other jobs in the bedroom to give it a better finish. The service provided was excellent from start to finish and the work done is of a very high standard. Fraser is a very friendly / polite hardworking tradesman and I would certainly recommend him to friends. I have arranged for Fraser to carry out other work next year.
Very pleased with work done. "
