Trustmark Protection & Accreditation - PCA Members Part of Gov Scheme

What is TrustMark?

TrustMark is the only Government Endorsed Quality Scheme for work carried out in or around your home. It is a not-for-profit social enterprise established in 2005 in conjunction with Government, industry bodies and consumer protection groups. The goal is to work with Scheme Providers and Registered Businesses to improve consumer protection and standards across all sectors of construction and home improvements.

As one of the founder scheme operators, the Property Care Association works closely with TrustMark to improve work standards. For the PCA to be awarded the TrustMark operators licence however, we are subject to extensive annual audits to ensure the PCA and its members are 'up to standard' and adhearing to 'best practice'.

PCA's commitment to TrustMark

Along with the continued support of the Government, Trading Standards and other consumer groups, the PCA is committed to the TrustMark scheme to not only help promote and support its PCA members, but also to help the customers/clients of our member companies with support, information, guidance and, when necessary, disputes. Using a TrustMark accreditated firm will help consumers to significantly reduce the risk of hiring a ‘rogue trader’ or ‘cowboy builder’.

As a Scheme Operator, our Contractor members must adhere to TrustMark's Code of Conduct and Customer Charter.
