Guide to Choosing a reputable trader

You can read our Choosing a Reputable Trader guide when making any selections or decisions. Age UK National also have a leaflet on 'Avoiding Scams'

Our guide particularly highlights the following:

• Word of mouth is often a good source of local information - friends, family or a neighbour may be able to recommend someone from their own experiences.
• If you are looking for a trader, you can try looking on the TrustMark government-endorsed tool to find tradespeople or Trading Standards - Buy With Confidence which is endorsed by local Trading Standards departments. There are also trade associations linked to specific trades which we have listed some below.
• Town, parish and church newsletters or websites often have current information about local traders and services. We have some of these listed Village, town and parish newsletters and area specific resources
• Yell.com, Dentons.net are information sources for local businesses but are not checked or endorsed
• If you have health difficulties or a disability then you might be eligible for other help. There are non-means-tested disability benefits, like Attendance Allowance, to help with the extra costs of having a long-term health condition or disability and a person may be entitled to a free care needs assessment from the local authority adult social care team to get some aids and equipment fitted free of charge or other support
