Why TrustMark?

Why not add TrustMark accreditation to your Select membership?

"The shoddy work and rip-off tactics of rogue traders has become Britain's number one consumer complaint."

As a TrustMark accredited Dulux Select Decorator you will able to offer your customers even more peace of mind by having you and your business approved by Dulux as well as being accredited to TrustMark (government endorsed standards).

When you become a Dulux Select Decorator who is TrustMark registered, and therefore subject to periodic re-assessments and additional monitoring, the Dulux Select Decorators scheme will guarantee your workmanship for a period of two years. This guarantee is a considerable broadening both in length of the cover and also the materials covered compared to the standard 12 month Select guarantee.

What is TrustMark?

TrustMark is a scheme heavily supported by Government, the building industry and consumer groups to help consumers find reliable and trustworthy tradespeople to make improvements and repairs inside and outside the home. Check it out for yourself at www.trustmark.org.uk.
