Tried to enter details on Trusted trader

Full of chancers, didicoys etc.. Find tradesmen from personal
recommendations, make sure they have an actual address and a landline
number.

+1 for recommendations. Although one needs to treat online stuff with
caution, local facebook groups seem to be one of the better sources for
recommendations.

I'd love to say I was convinced by personal recommendations, but on
the whole they reflect (usually not well) on the person making the
recommendation.

Generally the good tradesmen I've had have been based on a surveyor's
recommendation or associated with a purchase of a fitted item.
