It offers customers joinery work, new build housing, property extensions and loft conversions; and being the main contractor, also organises the trades required to carry out the works, with minimal hassle to the clients. In addition, while based in Montrose, the experienced firm also services an area approximately 20 miles around its HQ, also covering areas such Brechin and Laurencekirk, throughout Angus.

The TrustMark scheme is a government-backed scheme which aims to stop rogue traders. The initiative operates a framework under which 26 scheme operators work in the RMI (repair, maintenance and improvement) sector.

This includes trade associations, local government trading standards teams and independent scheme operators. Each scheme operator is audited annually by TrustMark, to ensure processes, standards and complaint procedures are being maintained.

The project aims to help clients to find reliable and trustworthy tradesmen to carry out improvements or repairs around their home. For those companies who are involved in the TrustMark scheme, their technical skills have been independently checked through regular on-site inspections, as well as checks on their trading record and financial status. The firms then agree to a code of practice that includes insurance, good health and safety practices and customer care; while their quality of work, trading practices and customer satisfaction will be continually monitored.

The TrustMark scheme is fully supported by Government, the building industry and consumer protection groups.
