I used the website to find “approved” installers of flat roof insulation. I made enquiries to 4 local companies listed. All took an inordinate length of time to reply and 3 stated that they did not install flat roof insulation, the fourth gave me a ridiculously expensive “guesstimate”

COMPLETE SCAM - DO NOT TRUST THIS CERTIFICATION AT ALL

Had a new boiler fitted under the government scheme which was excellent, subsequently received a Trustmark certificate for new smart heting controls being fitted to the premises by their electirican as part of the installation, certificate stated that no controls were previously in the property, when in fact all the electrician did was connect 1 mains supply cable to the boiler, which was a like for like upgrade.

COMPLETE SCAM

Absolutely useless organisation!!!. Rang them for some advice re Loft Insulation, over a month ago, was told someone would come back to me..,, still waiting.. Speaks volumes of "Government Endorsed Quality".. If they cannot deal with simple queries, i wonder what they do when they is an actual problem with a Trades person!!! Who would deal with issues with Trustmark themselves!!! Feels like there is no recourse .. Trustmark is just there to provide a false sense of security and a "Tick in the box" exercise for the Government.

I had my mobile home walls insulated a couple of weeks ago and I was very impressed with the job from start to finish. The staff in the office were very friendly and helpful and the staff that did the job were very polite and hard working. Would definitely use again.

This is just another quango set up to make money off the state and encouraged by the right wing tories.
I complained to them about an Eco job not done not finished, waste of time.

Fixed a porch roof that was leaking.
He took time to fix the slates and took it a step further to design and create a wooden door arch leading from the damaged porch into the living room.

This Government green grant they make it so hard to find trades people in the first place to get quotes . I have to get trades people for Loft room insulation as my loft is already already done so I could make the best of the offer for my single pane windows to be replaced. So far I have managed one quote for windows because the window company in my area some are not willing to participate because too long to wait to be paid as they have to pay staff, purchase supplies and it is six months after they have fitted the windows to get paid. Then there are is the problem with my first tradesmen for the loft room insulation none in my area so you try the outskirts the ones that may do the work want a surveyor first and that is £150 a pop so 3 quotes I can not afford and they do not cover that themselves, it would be better if they pay the surveyor and recover the cost from the Government. I know they have extended the program but I probably have to wait for a better deal.

Strange use of the word 'trust'.
Compelled to use Trustmark companies for Green Homes grant.
Of 3 nearest firms doing insulation,the first could not be contacted and operated under several names ???, the second would not take on any Green Homes Grant works !!!, the third will come out WHEN the Green Homes Grant is running properly.
Give me Checkatrade anytime

It's a good idea - but badly executed
Was looking to appoint a contractor for work on the house to take advantage of the government green homes grant scheme. As part of this, you a re directed to use Trustmark to find a local installer - and to get 3 quotes. However, after contacting numerous businesses via Trustmark, most have not responded to emails. There is also a dashboard 'Portal' where you can set up an enquiry to send to contractors and 'chat' to them - of the 3 selected, only 1 replied sending a link which seemed to be a suspicious link as picked up by my security software. I replied to them to query this & heard nothing back. This, it's impossible to use Trustmark to contact contractors to obtain the quotes as required under the scheme.

The businesses are meant to display certain qualities to obtain Trustmark recognition to give them a Government Endosered Quality mark. "When a consumer uses a TrustMark Registered Business, they know they are engaging an organisation that has been thoroughly vetted to meet required standards, and has made a considerable commitment to good customer service, technical competence and trading practices.

By ensuring all Registered Business adhere to and maintain these standards through our expert network of Scheme Providers, TrustMark gives consumers increased confidence and choice"

However, it seems most businesses listed (and therefore endorsed by the Trustmark) scheme do not seem to adhere to the standards set out - and Trustmark don't seem to regulate this. This makes the scheme pointless.

But frustratingly, the grant scheme stipulates installers must be Trustmark approved - and require the consumer to obtain 3 quotes. But if the listed / approved installers do not respond to customer enquiries made through the Trustmark websiite, then how can this be achieved?
