Can anyone here, please? I'm probably looking for a sole trader, below the VAT threshold, who'll do a decent job, charge a reasonable rate, and someone I can feel confident that if I leave them alone in the house they're not going to steal the family silver or anything (no, I haven't actually got any, but you know what I mean

). My old one's retired, and the other one I tried is booked up months ahead (which probably means he's good, but I need this doing fairly quickly).
Equally, if you've used someone who was so awful you'd like to warn me off, then please do, but I assume that'll be by PM rather than on the forum. Loads of people put pieces of paper through doors, but of course I've no guarantee that they're any good.
