Family-run roofing firm Old Plean Roofing has been admitted into two industry bodies in recognition of their high standards.
The company, run by Mark and Fiona Thornton, has been accredited by the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) and the UK-wide Buy With Confidence scheme assessed by Trading Standards.
Gaining membership of the two organisations is the latest move by the Thorntons in their campaign to raise standards across the roofing industry and tackle the scourge of ‘rogue traders.’
Fiona commented: “When we launched our roofing business, we did so with the goal of improving industry standards and offering an honest, reliable and transparent service.
“We hear so many heart-breaking stories about rogue roofers preying on unsuspecting people and we have even been involved in fixing the issues they’ve caused when they walk off site without completing work or fail to carry out a job properly.
“We’re always striving to do what we can to reassure clients and think it’s important that people know who they can trust – so applying to become members of the NFRC and the Buy With Confidence programme seemed a natural progression for us.”
The Buy With Confidence scheme was set up in response to concerns about ‘rogue traders’ and provides a register of businesses which have been thoroughly vetted and approved by Trading Standards.
Member businesses must undergo a set of tailored background checks, abide by a code of conduct and continue to be monitored to ensure they are trading in a fair, honest and legal manner with a customer-friendly service.
