The Wigan Good Trader Scheme
The good trader scheme was set up in early 2009 by trading standards, to help you find a trader you can rely on, there are still too many cowboys out there, charging top whack for shoddy & dangerous work, so now reputable traders not only sign up to be verified by the council, but they must also commit to doing a good job and promise to deal with their customers in an honest & fair way. After they finish a job, they leave you a feedback form, where you rate them, from 1 to 5 gold stars, these are then displayed on the council website, the more gold stars, the better the trader.
Traders should give you a written cost, contract and a right to cancel notice before work starts, which is now UK law.
As of 2012 there are about 450 businesses on the scheme.
Out of those 400 the council award the cream of the crop a certificate of excellence from the customer feedback forms they received from the year up to December.
Out of the cream of the crop they then award the best trader of the year.
In 2012, I was happy to say I had the proud honour of receiving that award.

Chris is an outstanding builder. We are so pleased we had him carry out the two extensions to our property. Chris has been dedicated and hardworking throughout the build. He his trustworthy and reliable and always tidy to such an extent that our house has still felt like a home not a building site. I would certainly recommend Chris to anyone, it has been a pleasure to have such a conscientious and friendly builder work at our home. Chris did everything, from the foundations to our beautifully finished rooms, we are so pleased that he was our builder. |
Chris has completed various building works at our home, including a garage conversion, laying a base then installing electrics safely into the new shed, creating a block paved patio with walled garden area for planting, plus improving access for us into the garden. All his work has been completed to very high standard and to our absolute satisfaction. Chris is meticulous in his work and extremely neat and tidy, everything was completed with minimal disruption to our busy family life, something Chris was very considerate of, in fact, it felt almost like he was part of the family whilst he was here. Previously having worked as a Customer Service Manager myself, I have no hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending Chris, he always goes the extra mile and customer satisfaction is really important to him. We hope he'll return in the future to do more work for us. |

I know it's risky looking for a good builder, someone you can trust, but do you want quality or cheap rubbish? do you want a hassle free job done? from someone who knows what they are doing? someone you can talk too? get it right from the start people! The first thing you should ALWAYS do is see what other people have said about them, go look at their work! here's a good way to start, I am able to show you what all of my customers have said about me - CLICK HERE TO SEE THEIR COMMENTS, YES ALL OF THEM - THEN CLICK ON CUSTOMER FEEDBACK/REVIEWS (Red Box in Wigan Trading Standards Good Trader Scheme) | |

You shall be supplied with a contract note.
Im polite, friendly and respectful & I turn up when I say im going to.
There is never a point during a job where you will pay out more than the value of the build at that point in time.
I know what im doing, and i've been doing it successfully for the past 35 years with no complaints so far!
Wigan Trading Standards have presented me with an award for excellence for FIVE years on the run.
My work has to be spot on, clean lines, symmetrical, straight & level, something to be proud of.
I don't start another big job until yours is finished, no disapearing acts like the others.
I never take money "up front" - stage payments only, any extra work you require is discussed & agreed before hand.
Myself & one time served employee do everything, so you won't have loads of different men walking through your house.
I am also a qualified & registered full scope domestic electrical installer with the latest part p certification.
Best of all, I clean up after myself every day, both inside & out, its not just a building site, its your home! |

MORE GOOD NEWS!
I am happy to announce that I have attained the new government "Part P" regulation and have been assessed by ELECSA to self certify my work so that it complies with all applicable requirements of the Building Regulations. You should never allow anyone to do notifiable work in your home without being qualified, its dangerous! Click this link to read more on getting the right person with the right qualifications to work safely on your home http://www.elecsa.org.uk/partp.aspx
*Update - Finished & passed the latest City & Guilds 17th Edition with a 93% pass!*
News - Once a year as part of the ELECSA scheme for quality, safety & high standards, installers are assessed by a skilled technical assesor, who scrutinises our Health & Safety policies, our Insurance, our qualifications, the way our contracts are set out etc, and a two hour 'hands on' site visit where our work is re-checked & re-tested to make sure everything is spot on, its a bit like an MOT. This year, I am very pleased to announce that I acheived an 'A' pass, with no Non Complience's, no Observations and in the comments box "exceptionally high standard of work'
I ONLY do the electrics as part of my own building projects, I am a City & Guilds electrical installer, so if you are looking for a rewire, shower, outdoor lights etc, look up an electrician from the Good Trader Scheme called Andy Hidden, an award winner too, you only get the best people on my page! here is his link http://www.elecspert.co.uk/ or Phone him on 07946 844904 |
