Member companies will be independently checked by staff from the Comhairle’s Trading Standards Service against the Partnership rules on trustworthiness and compliance with the law”.

“I was called to a house to give a quote to this couple looking for their sitting room to be painted. It was from the ‘Buy with Confidence’ website that they obtained my details”.
