TrustMark aims to ensure a steady supply of quality tradesmen for consumers within the UK. It allows you to find all types of tradesmen in all the towns across the Country, from builders in Manchester and plumbers in London to electricians in Glasgow.
When you find a TrustMark builder, electrician or any other TrustMark tradesman in the UK, you can be assured that they will comply with TrustMark’s government-endorsed standards. TrustMark aims to give customers more confidence in the tradesman they employ when spending their hard-earned money. Every trader signed up to the scheme is independently assessed for their competence.
Before any contractors are awarded Trustmark status, they undergo rigorous checks. These start with the company’s previous trading record to ensure that they are a fair and reputable firm. Then, their financial status is reviewed to ensure they are solvent and can trade on their own merits. A great deal of careful inspection is undertaken to ensure the absence of rouge traders so that every TrustMark status tradesman is reputable, competent and provides a high-quality service to the consumer.
Once these off-site factors have been thoroughly assessed and relevant qualifications relating to the particular industry have been provided, an on-site inspection will be carried out on the potential contractor. This is vital because qualifications can only tell you so much; an actual assessment of the contractor performing their work is a much more accurate way to assess the quality of both the service provided and health and safety policy. It also allows assessors to see how the contractor deals with their clients and members of the general public.
All contractors agree to abide by the TrustMark code of practice, which includes some of the abovementioned factors, such as customer care and health and safety policy. All contractors must carry appropriate insurance to become approved, giving potential customers complete peace of mind when hiring a TrustMark tradesman.
