Your ability to do things yourself is the best Trump card in such cases.🧐

I have a very jaundiced, sceptical view of things like Check-a-trade Andrew. I've always felt that the people who review on things like that have no real knowledge of how the job should be done in the first place and as such, their review has no real value. As long as it looks good when it's first done, they leave a 5-star review and 6 months later when (for example) all the tiles lift because not enough adhesive has been used, they can't go back and change it.
It's a bit like the reviews i see quoted in a tv ad for "pay up front funeral services". How on earth can reviews be left by the people actually paying for it? They won't know if the job was done well!
I've always found word of mouth is a better way of finding someone reliable and good.
