SEVEN ways to spot a real Tradesperson
We would have preferred that this page wasn't needed. However, it's a fact that a proportion of the 'tradespeople' in operation are either not legal, or not up to the job. Think of the times your friends and colleagues have told stories of work that's not been carried out to the standard that they expected.
We don't want you to fall into the same traps. You deserve high quality workmanship at a fair price. That's why we're here!
Your tradesmen should have:
Qualifications (industry recognised such NVQ or alike)
Health and Safety Certification
Well-established portfolio
Insurance (public liability)
References
Longevity and experience
Working with professional tools (proper branded tools)
If not – STAY AWAY. Not only are you going to get a nasty, and possibly life threatening surprise, but also the end product won’t conform to national standards of safety & quality.
The easiest solution is to use pre-verified tradespeople courtesy of Yourlocaltrades Ltd.
Unlike others who claim to be genuine, our members can provide proof that they're the professionals you need. It's your choice who you do business with. Make the right choice – use Yourlocaltrades Ltd.
