Here at TheSolution aim to provide a professional trades register to help you the consumer find trusted, reliable, quality, vetted, monitored and approved tradesmen and companies in your local area.
All our members have had the following checks, so you can rest a little easier when you employ the services of a TheSolution individual:
Identification, References, Public Liability, Qualifications See here for more details
Here are some Tips when normally dealing with businesses or Tradespeople.....although we don't think you'll need this with TheSolution members!.......it is good overall practice to bear in mind
You may notice, all Solution members have been pre-screened - see here. You can also see a picture of them on their relevant web page here.
If in doubt about a stranger at your door, keep all entrances secure and call the Bogus Callers Helpline 0808 1000 777. Trained staff are available at any time to assist.
You can call anonymously to leave information about crimes and suspicious activity on Crimestoppers 0800 555 111
- Be very specific about what you want and how YOU see the completed project
- Set out a detailed and clear plan
- Request a few quotes for comparison
- Ask for references. Speak to previous customers. Maybe ask to see previous work
- Ask friends and family for a recommendation on a job or service they have recently been pleased with
- Try and use a firm that advertises using a landline phone number
- Be wary of those willing to give you a mobile number only and no other contact details
- Pay for work as it's done. Don't shell out advance payments (although, if any materials/services etc need to be bought in advance, it's reasonable you are asked for some of these costs as the job gets done)
- Always use a written contract - it may offer some protection if anything does go wrong
- Agree in writing any changes before any any further or changed work or service is undertaken
- Cheapest aint always best! How well do you get on with the individual? Is their work/service a high quality? Good local reputation?
Whilst we can not always guarantee to provide names of vetted companies and monitored tradesmen in this area, wherever possible we will endeavor to do so.
