Good idea ask the Tradesman just a relatively small job first. For example you want to hung 5 fire doors ask him to do one.. Not all the job multiple of course. :( Also you can ask references with valid phone numbers from previous customer and they can tell you more less you interesting.

Hi Eda, I'd recommend that you check the tradesperson's profile page for ratings and reviews from previous homeowners and also follow the advice in our homeowner checklist at ratedpeople(dot)com/c/homeowner-checklist I hope this helps. Thanks, Natalie Ask an expert team
