Approved trader scheme
Northamptonshire County Council's Trading Standards Service operates an approved trader scheme and can provide you with details of reliable local tradesmen and women to carry out work around your home and garden.
What is the Buy with Confidence Scheme?
The Buy with Confidence scheme brings together a list of gardeners, plumbers, builders, electricians and many other types of businesses from across the county which have been individually checked for trustworthiness and compliance with consumer protection laws.
Trading Standards vet every applicant and only if they pass stringent checks are they accepted onto the Buy with Confidence scheme and can display the Buy with Confidence logo.
Through the Buy with Confidence scheme, high standards of trading are being established and maintained with the ultimate aim of stamping out rogue trading in Northamptonshire.
The scheme is running successfully in other parts of the country and ensures customers can easily find trusted and reputable traders who are trading standards approved.
If you have any problems
Whilst we cannot guarantee that nothing will ever go wrong, if you ever have a problem with a member of the scheme they are required to deal with any complaints in a fair and equitable manner and by joining the scheme they have signed up to do so.
