Who are TrustMark?
TrustMark is the only UK Government-Endorsed Quality Scheme for home improvements carried out in and around the home. They are passionate about quality and assurance and what that means for homeowners and their Registered Businesses.
Since they started in 2005, TrustMark have been working to help drive-up standards across the industry and improve the protection offered to homeowners when having work done. They’re a not-for-profit business which means they can focus on their customers – homeowners and tradespeople – and not on shareholders.
If you’re a tradesperson looking to demonstrate your commitment to doing a great job with high levels of customer service, you can apply to join around 15,000 other TrustMark Registered Businesses.
TrustMark is a not-for-profit, social enterprise, operating under a Master Licence Agreement, issued by the Government’s Department for Business & Trade. This Agreement sets out what they do and how they do it.
They have an independent Board, first appointed in 2018, who work alongside an independent Financial Protection Panel. This provides impartial oversight of their business and in-depth scrutiny over the levels of consumer protection provided by businesses.
They licence and work with their network of Scheme Providers – accreditation bodies and trade associations – who commit to meeting the operating requirements of their Quality Scheme.
In turn, their Scheme Providers licence and work with their TrustMark Registered Businesses to ensure they commit to and maintain the required standards of technical competence, trading practices and customer service.
These practices help to provide assurance and confidence for homeowners when they engage a TrustMark Registered Business and for trades, it helps to demonstrate their quality and professionalism.
