Dggsheffield   10 #1 Posted July 2, 2017 I have seen Derbyshire county council promote a trusted trader scheme for companies/tradesmen based in Derbyshire. Is there such a scheme for Sheffield based tradesmen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

dongle   10 #3 Posted July 9, 2017 There is not in sheffield which is a pity, we get work off which trusted trader, very rigorous selection process though.  It's not that rigorous, I had some work done by one company who at the time were part of the trusted trader scheme, I had to take them to court for problems I had and trading standards got involved due to the large number of previous complaints against them, they were removed from the trusted trader scheme, and a few weeks later were part of the which scheme. Which have approached my company to be part of there scheme, I made them aware of the above and they said they were aware of the companies previous history and would monitor them, it didn't fill me with much confidence as a consumer as to the criteria of the scheme and how trust worthy some companies one the scheme can be.
