Trust, made specific

We check claims.
We don’t make guarantees.

Providers tell us who they are, what they do and where they work. Where evidence is available, we record what was checked and when. That is not an endorsement or a guarantee of price, availability or workmanship.

If a provider pays for placement, “Sponsored” appears before its name. Payment does not change which claims are checked or how they are described.

A 60-second check

Before anyone starts work

  1. 1

    Ask for the total likely cost. Confirm call-out, labour, parts, VAT and any out-of-hours charge.

  2. 2

    Confirm who is coming. Ask for the provider name and expected arrival window.

  3. 3

    Pause before drilling. Ask why destructive entry is needed and what alternatives were considered.

  4. 4

    Keep the paperwork. Request an itemised invoice and details of any parts warranty.
