What verification means
Verification is one signal to consider when comparing professionals. A verified badge means the profile has completed the checks represented by its current verification status; it is not a guarantee of workmanship, availability, pricing or suitability for a particular job.
Information professionals provide
Registration collects business and contact details. Depending on the profession and verification route, a professional may also submit company, insurance, qualification or membership information.
What customers should check
- Confirm the legal business name, contact details and who will perform the work.
- Ask for current insurance and any licence or accreditation required for the service.
- Compare a written scope, materials, timescale, payment schedule and warranty terms.
- Use available ratings and portfolio evidence alongside direct questions and independent checks.
Keeping information current
Professionals are responsible for keeping their profiles accurate. Verification may be reviewed, suspended or removed when information expires, changes or cannot be confirmed.
