How do you know if you are choosing a ‘Good’ Tradesman?

How to distinguish between the Good, The Bad and The Ugly!

Firstly, most local firms that have been trading for a number of years are successful, trustworthy and reliable, otherwise how would they keep trading? So we believe that if you look at local firms that have been in business for several years you will find a good pool of businesses to choose from.

Secondly, do they have any additional services that you need?  Does your plumber also do heating maintenance or does the builder offer a tiling service too?  Think carefully and make notes on what exactly you are looking for.

Thirdly, ask around!  A good personal recommendation is always a brilliant starting point in your search for a trusted and reliable company.  If you don’t have a friend to call up, head over to our website for a list of, yes, you guessed it!  Trusted, reliable, Five Star Local Traders! www.thebestof.co.uk/local/taunton-and-bridgwater/

You can check out our features on each one, presenting you with an overview of what they do and you can look at all their latest reviews in one easy to find place.  We make it as easy as possible for you to use our directory of professionally vetted, local independent firms just like it used to be reaching for the Yellow Pages!  Does anyone remember that?  Paging through all the flimsy entries to find someone to call?

Nowadays the internet can seem a rather vague, confusing and often unsavoury place when trying to find a good company.  When you are contemplating having someone in your home to fix, renovate or refurbish you want to know they are reputable.  We only recommend the best of the best.  To be listed on our website, they must be of good quality, sound reputation and have the best customer experience.  We simply won’t recommend anyone, only the firms that have that ‘extra’ attitude and work ethic backed by industry qualified experience.

So If you are looking for a trader or a service provider, look at our directory first to see who we recommend!  You can find all manner of businesses there, Artisans, Cake Makers, Builders, Joiners, Carpet Suppliers, Motor Garages, Security Specialists, Kitchen Fitters, Driving Instructors and the list goes on.  Rest assured though, that each one has been judged to be ‘thebestof Taunton and Bridgwater’  Look out for our logo on shops and vehicles, you’ll be amazed at the wealth of local traders that we have recommended and continue to champion all over our corner of the county.
