TrustMark: next steps with your tradesperson


Choosing the right tradesperson is an important step for any homeowner, but the process doesn’t end there. Taking the next steps will ensure the project runs smoothly and safely


TrustMark, the UK’s only Govern- ment-Endorsed Quality Scheme for tradespeople, off ers tips to help pro- tect you and your investment.


1. AGREE A DETAILED CONTRACT Before any work begins, formalise the agreement with a detailed con- tract. T is should clearly outline the work to be completed, the agreed cost, and the expected timescale. It should also include specifi c materials to be used, payment schedules and if any sub-contractors are involved. T is off ers protection should any- thing goes wrong, as well as prevent any misunderstandings.


2. PROTECTIONS


Make sure the tradesperson has appropriate insurances, including public liability. T is safeguards the homeowner


in case of accidental


damage, injury or unforeseen issues dur- ing the project. Check what guarantees are in place — for how long and whether it


includes product warranties and workmanship. TrustMark Regis- tered Businesses provide insurance against ceasing trading and minimum two-year guarantees for products and workmanship.


3. PERMISSIONS Check whether you need any approv- als for the work. Your local council will confi rm if you need a building regulations compliance certifi cate or planning permission. Whether you’re adding an exten- sion, loft conversion, or simply mak-


ing internal alterations, it’s important that work is both legally compliant and structurally sound.


4. PREPARE YOUR HOME Before the tradesperson arrives,


it’s


important to prepare your home where work will take place. Clear fur- niture, decorations and ornaments to prevent damage and give clear access. T is not only helps the job run smoothly but also protects your belongings and makes it easier for the tradesperson to work effi ciently and safely.


5. MANAGING EXPECTATIONS Knowing what to expect during the work helps you plan ahead and stay safe. T ere will be some disrup- tion to normal life (noise, dust and mess) but with some pre-planning, you can minimise any chaos. Alert your neighbours to the work planned and ensure your children and pets are safe.


Being practical and prepared helps bring peace of mind, as does choosing a TrustMark Registered Business. To fi nd out more: call 0333 555 1234, scan the QR code or visit trustmark.org.uk/guidance
