TrustMark tops 8 million searches
2nd February 2016

More than 8.1 million search results were provided to homeowners who used the TrustMark website and telephone helpline to find local tradespeople to carry out their home improvements and repairs last year, says the organisation.

The figure represents an increase of 12% compared to the same period in 2014 and up 55% since 2013.

Simon Ayers, Chief Executive of TrustMark, said: “Homeowners are increasingly understanding the importance of only using professional firms to do their home improvements and repair work, particularly at a time when people are concerned about their finances. TrustMark provides homeowners with extra security, the reassurances they are looking for and the confidence that they are working with tradespeople who are the best in the business.”

All TrustMark firms work to Government-endorsed standards and are uniquely checked for three cornerstones of quality - their trading practices, customer service and their technical competence. TrustMark continues to expand its database of over 13,000 individual firms in the UK, providing national coverage with more than 21,000 licenced trades searchable on its database.
