What
is TrustMark?
The TrustMark scheme has been set up to safeguard
the interests of the consumer who may be trying to select a quality approved
tradesperson to carry out work in their home. TrustMark
provides a list of assessed and approved contractors to work on domestic
properties. The scheme was launched to the public in January 2006 and AJA
Registrars were proud to be one of the first scheme operators to be approved.
This means that we can offer you a list of companies that have met the
standards of the scheme, and have been checked for the following:
- Technical competence in their particular trade
checked by 'on site ' assessments
- That they offer clear details of the work being
to be undertaken to include specification, materials to be used, price,
payment method and timescale
- Compliance with the law on health, safety and
waste disposal issues
- That the company are financially sound and have
adequate public liability insurance
- That the company offer assistance with building
control issues
- That they offer the opportunity to purchase of
insurance to cover ceasing to trade, defective workmanship. This
insurance is provided, when prepayment forms part of the contract
- That they have a functional complaints process
backed up by a low cost complaints resolution service in the event of
the contractor being unable to resolve the complaint satisfactorily.
