WHAT WE CHECK
Eight areas. One clear picture of the company.
We combine official records, certification data, reputation signals and information supplied through our partner application process.
Companies House status, incorporation date, directors, filing position and trading history.
Turnover, accounts, available credit and risk indicators to help assess financial stability.
Google Reviews, Trustpilot, review volume, recent feedback, complaint patterns and reputation trends.
Years trading, installation experience, recent project volumes and relevant technical capability.
Workmanship warranties, product protection and insurance-backed customer safeguards where applicable.
Customer support, escalation routes, servicing arrangements and approach to resolving issues.
Coverage area, current capacity, lead times and ability to properly support customers in your region.
