1What Which Trusted Trader Approval Means
Which Trusted Trader isn't just another trade accreditation scheme. It's the UK's most respected consumer organisation's own approval system, designed specifically to help homeowners find reliable, trustworthy tradespeople. Which only awards Trusted Trader status to businesses that pass their rigorous checks on workmanship, professionalism, and customer service.
ℹ️Independent Consumer Protection
Unlike trade body memberships, Which Trusted Trader approval comes from an independent consumer organisation with no commercial interest in promoting specific trades or services.
What Which Checks Before Approval
- Comprehensive background checks on company directors and key staff
- Verification of all relevant trade qualifications and certifications
- Analysis of customer feedback and complaint resolution processes
- Financial stability and insurance coverage verification
- On-site assessment of workmanship and professional standards
- Mystery shopper evaluations of customer service quality
2The Rigorous Assessment Process We Pass
Achieving Which Trusted Trader status isn't a simple application process. It's a comprehensive evaluation that examines every aspect of how we operate as a heating company serving Kent homeowners.
Professional Qualifications: Which verifies that all our engineers hold current Gas Safe registrations and relevant heating qualifications. They don't just check certificates exist – they verify them directly with issuing bodies and ensure they cover the specific work we undertake.
Customer Service Standards: Our communication, pricing transparency, and after-service support are all evaluated. Which uses mystery shoppers to test our responsiveness, professionalism, and how we handle customer enquiries and concerns.
Quality of Work: Independent assessors evaluate our completed installations and services, checking that they meet industry standards and manufacturer specifications. They also verify that we follow proper safety procedures and clean up appropriately after work.
💡Financial Protection
Which verifies our financial stability and insurance coverage, ensuring we can honor warranties and complete projects as promised. This protects you from the risk of incomplete work or unresolved issues.
