SOLE TRADER BENEFITS FROM MASTER
INSTALLER BACKING Master Installers are given a leading manufacturer-backed lifetime workmanship guarantee that has increasingly been viewed as a benchmark for industry professionals within a competitive installer marketplace.
Allan Milford, based in South Devon, is a sole trader working on predominantly residential and newbuild projects around the UK. Starting his career straight from college over 30-years ago, where he completed his training in carpet fitting, before moving into specialising in vinyl and laminate floor installations.
Most recently Allan has been working on a newbuild site alongside a continually busy stream of residential clients which stands testament to
his experience. Allan’s Master Installer badge has given him the backing of a recognised manufacturer guarantee that he would not have been able to match as a sole trader.
“As a sole trader in a competitive market, having the backing of a national company was the deciding factor for me. I am the only Master Installer within 15-20 miles of my base in South Devon so it does give me a head above local competition.
“The warranty has really helped as it gives clients a reassurance that I know my trade and can install to key standards.
The Academy for Excellence in Flooring currently has availability for the three- day training and certification scheme.
The programme includes a mixture of discussions, presentations, one-to-one mentoring throughout the course and up to five practical installations in dedicated training bays. At the end of the course, there will be a pass or fail assessment for the Master Installer status.
