The Guild of Master Craftsmen

The Guild's stringent entry criteria ensure that only those companies who meet the requirements are awarded membership, which is by no means automatic.

Members are required to prove that they have earned the right to be called master craftsmen - through the quality of their work, their commitment to customer care and the level of service they provide. Once accepted into membership they are required to maintain the Aims and Objectives of the Guild. Should they fail to do so their membership will be terminated.

It can be a difficult task finding a reliable tradesman to do jobs around the house.

Often these jobs are relatively simple things like painting a room or adding an extra light fixing. But where do you look if you want to find a high quality, reliable tradesman or woman these days?

Applicants for the Guild are required to submit confidential references from satisfied customers and one of the first questions asked of all referees is whether or not they would be prepared to recommend the applicant to a relative or close friend. The Guild's council of management include a review of the references when considering the application for membership as well as ensuring all other criteria are met. Only when they are satisfied that the applicant really does deserve to be called a master craftsmen is the application approved. This is about as close as you can get to receiving a recommendation from one of your neighbours or friends
