    If you don't have personal recommendations and have to resort to the internet, rely on sites that actually vet and guarantee the contractors. Don't rely on commercial sites where the contractor pays to be included. And don't rely on so-called independent reviews.

    Which?

    all vetted and inspected.

    Hi

    "gurantee the contractors." Sorry not sure what you mean by that. I think one builders site "guarantees" up to 1k of work and you pay for the guarantee. I'd be interested if there are any others
    Thanks
