Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
Be wary of high-pressure 'today-only' discounts and a salesperson who won't leave. A reputable window or door firm gives you a written, itemized quote you can take away and compare against others.
Never pay the full price up front; a modest deposit with the balance on completion is normal. Ask what deposit protection or insurance-backed guarantee you get if the firm stops trading before fitting.
Get the specification in writing (frame material, the glazing units and their energy rating, and any trickle vents) so you can check you got what you paid for.
