Trade accreditations on your profile
Trade accreditations show as trust marks on your profile. Customers can filter by them. Upload your certificates so we can verify and display.
Trade accreditations are independent verifications of skill in specific areas. They show as trust marks on your profile. Customers see them and can filter by them.
What we display
Common accreditations relevant to renovation work:
- Gas Safe Register — for any gas work.
- Part P registration (NICEIC, NAPIT, ELECSA, or similar) — for electrical work.
- CSCS card — site safety competence.
- FENSA / CERTASS — for window and door installation.
- OFTEC — for oil heating work.
- MCS — for renewables installation (solar, heat pumps).
If you have other accreditations, send them through and we'll consider whether they fit the public profile.
How to upload
Through your dashboard's Compliance section. Upload a copy of the certificate or registration card with the issuing body's reference number visible. We verify with the issuing body where possible.
How customers see them
Each accreditation shows as a labelled trust mark on your profile. Customers comparing builders can filter by accreditation — a customer planning a project that involves gas work can filter for Gas Safe builders, for example.
Renewals
Same flow as insurance — upload renewed certificates as soon as you have them. The platform reminds you ahead of expiries.
What this means for you
If you hold an accreditation, get it on your profile. The trust marks are a meaningful signal in the customer's comparison process — particularly for the trade-specific work that needs them.
