Ask the ones that you liked.

Yeah unfortunately this is my experience, loads of cowboys/people who dont care. But when you find a good one you just stick with them.
Is it worth creating a forum approved trades person thread?

how do i pick a tradesperson without it triggering my anxiety that almost every one i've had in (across various remits) has been a bit of a charlatan? even those with stellar ratings on trusted trader sites and who come via personal recommendation? i've had maybe two that were excellent and the rest were, frankly, a nightmare. i need someone to check the external render and lead roof flashing for cracks in the (never-ending) hunt for the (possibly multiple) sources of damp and i don't want to waste money and have to argue that they haven't done what they said on the quote again
