I'm hopefully soon going to be looking for a builder to put an extension up along with a bunch of other work on my new (to me) bungalow which is about 3 hours away from where I currently live.
Normally I like to hire tradesmen on word of mouth from people I know who've had good service at a fair price. This works great here but comes up a bit short for the new house.
The best tradesmen I've had don't advertise generally as they're busy through recommendation. How on earth can I find good tradesmen in a new area? Are these Trusted Trader type websites any good?
I could go door knocking around the village but you still don't know if they're recommending their brother or son who's a complete cowboy.
