Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)

Answer

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) endorses and uses the TrustMark registration scheme for installers. Registration provides a high level of assurance, certainty and protection to homeowners looking to have work done in and around their homes.

Information on the number of registered companies and details of them can be found on the TrustMark website, including searching by geographical area: https://www.trustmark.org.uk/homeowners/find-a-tradesperson/advance-search?fromSearch=true.

For example, a search for all insulation measures by trade description shows there are 863 registered companies covering different building insulation work in the UK, and 201 in the North West.
