Becoming TrustMark Registered – For Less Than £1 A Week (RRP)
Since they started in 2005, they have been working to help drive-up standards across the industry and improve the protection offered to homeowners when having work done. They’re a not-for-profit business which means they can focus on their customers – homeowners and tradespeople – and not on shareholders.
Committed to quality
Developed in 2005 with national government, industry and consumer protection bodies (including the National Trading Standards approved scheme), TrustMark aims to give consumers confidence in trades to undertake high quality work. In turn, they only allow independently verified customer reviews and feedback.
TrustMark works differently to commercially-driven, traditional lead generation tools. Their robust Code of Conduct, Customer Charter and Framework Operating Requirements dictate that they only accept tradespeople who match up, giving your business the recognition that you have been independently reviewed to meet their rigorous standards of quality assurance
