Future Renewables Are Now TrustMark Registered
TrustMark is the UK’s only Government Endorsed Quality Scheme. The Scheme Providers and Registered Businesses work in accordance with TrustMark’s codes and charters as well as the codes of practice relevant to their industry. This means that when you choose a TrustMark Registered Business, you are accessing the most comprehensive level of protection available.
TrustMark also offers Government-endorsed consumer protection for home improvements, repairs, renewable energy installations and low energy retrofits that are designed to make your home more comfortable and cheaper to run.
TrustMark is attained by a reputable business after it can prove to a certifying body (i.e. Certification schemes or Trade Associations) that it has all the right competences and consumer protections in place. TrustMark’s requirements relate to all the business’s work and all its employees, as it is the business which is TrustMark registered, not just the work.
For more information about TrustMark and what it means for you, read their customer charter.
