Checking qualifications

Posted by Parma Prasad, on
I am about to hire D and C property repairs posted on your website. Not able to check their qualifications.

Hi Parma, Different trades require different skills and therefore different qualifications. For instance, it is a legal requirement for a heating engineer to have a Gas Safe qualification. I would recommend that you ask the tradesperson for visual proof of relevant qualifications. Certificates have identifying numbers on and a date to tell you for how long the qualification is valid for. Kind regards, Natalie The Ask an Expert Team
