Help finding builder

I am looking for a decorator to do two rooms in our house, plus a plasterer to skin the ceilings in both room and a plumber to replace the radiators in each room.

We live in a small village and I have tried in vain to get recommendations for local builders.

Problem is I find a decorator but his plumber overquotes. I find a plasterer and his decorator overquotes.

If it was just one type of tradesman it would be easier but no such luck.

Any suggestions?

    Cheapest may not be best, if you have any recommendations, go with them.

    I do not advertise at all and get work purely from recommendations and existing customers.

    get a plasterer by all means, but all the other jobs can be done by a decent handyman.
    Get some gorm.
