The Tradesmens Entrance
This section offers services and information to those within the trade.
As advertised, Trusted Tradesmen is not a 'Beware of the rogue trader' website, albeit we do recommend the consumer follows a strict self vetting proceedure prior to employing someone within a specific trade to carry our work on their home or business.
It's no secret that there are some shenanigans going on out there but what the media don't make the public aware of is the fact that there are many good tradespeople out in the field that are playing by the rules / are skilled in what they do and operate their businesses to an extremely high standard.
What Trusted Tradesmen are attempting to do is bridge the gap between the consumer and the tradesperson and create a level of understanding between both parties.
We are not:
1. Initially promising to give you something for free and then trying to charge you through the nose for other future services.
2. Offering to vet you / promote you.
3. Trying to scare the public into not employing you in the future.
We are:
1. Providing you with a portal for free advertising if you want it.
2. Encouraging you to provide or continue to provide a quality & ethical service.
3. Encouraging you to ask your customers to submit a review of your work which we hope will lead to you receiving increased business traffic and a more solid reputation.
4. Providing you with a medium in which to make yourself heard.
