Hi LP73,
Another way of getting recommendations is to walk around your area and see what are the building companies your neighbours are using, these recommendations speak for themselves as they have been contracted. You can knock on your neighbours doors and ask how they are getting on with the builders, as bold as this may sound if the clients are happy with their work they are happy to recommend and don't mind you asking.
When we had our scaffolding up for our loft conversion we had loads of people knock on our door and ask how it was working out, it has been 2 years and our builders are working on the 7th house on our street (unfortunately they do loft conversions and other works but not basement conversions so not a good fit for your job).
