How do I know I can rely on this tradesman to do the job

properly?

At TrustATrader.com, we do all the hard work for you! We have hundreds of local tradesmen in

your area who have been vetted by our team to check on all the questions you'd like to ask

yourself. If the feedback isn't good enough when they request to join up to Trustatrader.com,

they won't be on our website. Simple!

What do you do to make sure tradesmen are qualified to do

work such as gas or electrics?

There are certain trades where experience isn't always enough! If you have gas or engineering

works to be done, you need to know that whoever you hire is the best person for the job. We

require copies of all current certificates when our members join, so we know they have the skills

you need to do a professional job.

For electricians, we require proof of registration with a governing body, and proof of Part P and

17th Addition Compliance; this ensures that our traders have their specialist training up to date,

as bodies such as NICEIC have the sole purpose of protecting consumers from unsafe and

unsound electrical work. The same goes for the Gas Safe Register; any trader coming into your

home to carry out any gas works will have current Gas Safe Registration if you find them

through Trustatrader.com. It's always a good idea to check with the trader when they come

round, and ask to see their current membership cards for your total peace of mind.

make sure that you, the consumer, have the best choice of professionals to do the job. Our

stringent vetting and constant monitoring of our traders provides you with the assurance that any

trader you choose will be capable of completing your job to a high standard. You are, however,

welcome to call as many of the companies as you like until you find the perfect one for your

needs.

How do I choose the right tradesperson for the job?

That really is up to you! We've done all the hard work by ensuring that all our traders are the best

of the best, but you can make choices as a result of the following:

The reviews which have been left on the website

The trader's profile

The trader's qualifications and memberships (these are listed with logos and in the

qualifications box)

Photographs of previous works

Is there a charge to the consumer to use TrustATrader.com
