How we vet
The Vetted standard.
Only a small fraction of applicants make it into our network. Here's the bar.
Insurance & accreditation
We personally check Public Liability and Employer Insurance annually, plus trade body accreditations such as FMB and Gas Safe.
Reference checking
Our team speaks to previous clients, architects and designers - verifying workmanship and professionalism, not star ratings.
Live site audits
For specialist trades we run a live walkround - typically by video - to confirm safety standards, materials and quality of finish.
