WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
If you haven’t heard about it already, you might want to check out Derbyshire Trusted Trader which gives local people confidence finding traders they can trust.
Trusted Trader, run by Derbyshire County Council, is the fastest growing assured trader scheme run by a local authority in the country.
There is everyone on our list from builders, plumbers, roofers and glazers, to electricians, decorators, joiners and gardeners.
Trusted Trader gives peace of mind because everyone on the list has been checked out by Derbyshire County Council’s trading standards team.
Among things we look for are records of county court judgements or any previous complaints against a company.
Businesses pay a small fee to join. Traders have to be based in Derbyshire or do half their work in the county to make the list.

Councillor Carol Hart, Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities, said: “Trusted Trader gives residents more confidence when they call out a trader at the same time as boosting good local businesses.
“There are well over 150 different trader types on our list from right across Derbyshire offering a great deal of choice.”
