Is your house in need of repair? Don’t know who to trust?
CASAC Check Point works across the West Yorkshire district to protect householders from bogus and “cowboy” workmen, by providing a safe, secure and reliable source of tradesmen, when you need repairs, maintenance or improvements carried out at home.
There are many people in the local area (especially older and vulnerable adults), who are exploited by tradespeople and other service providers calling at their home. Although opportunist tradespeople knocking on doors are the main area of concern, even invited ones can overcharge for jobs, or do more work than is actually required. It is not only members of the public who suffer, reputable traders are also affected, by being tarred with the same brush as the “cowboys”, because householders are often unable to differentiate between honest and dishonest companies.
CASAC Check Point was set up to help local people find local tradespeople when they need work doing at home and also to protect the reputation of the genuine tradespeople in the area, who just want to do an honest days work for an honest days pay.
The scheme has compiled a register of approved tradespeople, companies and contractors, who can do almost any job in your home and garden, no matter how big or small. All of these people do good quality work at a fair price. They are not necessarily the cheapest you can find, but they are reliable, honest and will not rip you off.
Before being accepted onto our register, we carry out a rigorous vetting procedure and all of our tradespeople are regularly monitored and assessed for quality of work, reliability and neatness on site, as well as with their empathy towards customers and value for money. Any tradespeople not meeting the required standards are removed from the register.
This is not a subsidised service; all of our tradespeople are qualified within their field of work and charge the normal “going rate” for the type of work that they are employed to do, but will not rip you off.
If you require work doing within your home, or are interested in joining our register, please call our team on 0845 838 8851.
