Trusted Trader scheme
Our Trusted Trader scheme helps you to choose a reputable trader from customer feedback.
The scheme is currently aimed mainly at home improvement traders. The traders are reviewed by customers as well as checked and monitored by us to make sure they're trading legally.
Note: When calling please remember to tell the trader that you got their information from the Trusted Trader website.

Complaints about a trader
Consumers and traders should initially try to resolve complaints through discussion.
Details of the complaint should then be made in writing to either party. Either party can contact us if the complaint remains unresolved:
- Call 030 33 33 3000
- Email tradingstandards@dumgal.gov.uk
We will respond to both parties within 5 working days.
