Yes the key really is to look at previous work.

Not that easy with say boiler or kitchen replacement tho.

Even if they may be ex travellers, it does not always follow
that they are con men and bodgers. Some are very good,
but its finding the right ones that is the issue.

And presumably some used to do good work and are now so
senile that they **** up everything they touch in their dotage.

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.
