RETROFITWORKS – A TRUSTMARK SCHEME PROVIDER

TRUSTMARK – A BRAND OF QUALITY TRUSTED BY CONSUMERS ACROSS THE UK

TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality trusted trader scheme in the UK for trades that operate in and around the home.

The TrustMark scheme gives homeowners and occupiers assurance that the trader will undertake a high-quality level of workmanship and treat its customers fairly. Contractors who are TrustMark members will have signed up to a stringent Code of Conduct and Customer Charter which is a condition of TrustMark membership.

Therefore, consumers will know that they will be using a firm that meets the required levels of competence, has their work regularly inspected to ensure quality, and looks after consumers.

Firms who wish to undertake work funded by Government schemes have to be accredited as TrustMark members. This also gives consumers peace of mind and financial protection should the installing contractor cease to trade within the guarantee period.

THE TRUSTMARK LOGO ENDORSES RELIABLE CONTRACTORS AND HIGH QUALITY WORKMANSHIP

The TrustMark logo is universally recognised as a brand that promotes reliable contractors, giving consumers the assurance of high quality workmanship and being treated fairly.

As a Trustmark Scheme Provider, RetrofitWorks provides a key benefit to its contractor members to join TrustMark via the company, giving them added kudos when it comes to selling their products and services to the consumer.

RetrofitWorks encourages all its contractor members who install products to join Trustmark, to provide their customers with the peace of mind that they are dealing with a trader which is registered and accredited with the only Government endorsed quality trusted traders standards scheme.

Would contractor members wishing to join TrustMark, please contact membership@retrofitworks.co.uk.

Consumer Complaints Policy

 

In the unlikely event that you are unhappy with the service received, rest assured that we are here to support you every step of the way.

RetrofitWorks has a clear consumer complaints procedure set down within the design and contract documents of each of our energy efficiency and retrofit schemes. The procedure may vary from one scheme to another.

In the first instance, where there is a complaint about the work that has been carried by a contractor, please contact the contractor. Reasonable response times to complaints are set out in the scheme documents concerned. The consumer must give the contractor reasonable opportunities to resolve their complaint.

If the contractor is not able to resolve the complaint, then the complaint may be escalated to RetrofitWorks (info@retrofitworks.co.uk). If RetrofitWorks are unable to resolve the complaint and “deadlock” is reached, then the consumer will be given details of any Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Provider, should the contractor subscribe to one. Where the contractor is a member of TrustMark, then details of the default TrustMark ADR Provider will be given if the contractor does not already subscribe to another ADR Provider.
