Welcome to the TrustMark section of the ECA website

TrustMark is a scheme supported by Government, the building industry and consumer groups to help you find reliable and competent firms to carry out improvements and repairs to your home.

The ECA – the trade association representing electrical contractors – is a licensed TrustMark operator for both electrical and security systems work. Click here to find a TrustMark-registered firm in your area.

You can be confident that each of the firms listed on this site:

• has had their technical competence checked;
• has the quality of their work regularly monitored;
• has signed up to a code of practice that includes insurance cover, good health and safety practices and proper customer dealings;
• is also registered with a government-authorised competent person scheme and can provide you with a Building Regulations Compliance certificate. This means you do not need to involve building control in any electrical work you have done in your home or garden; and
• is required to provide customers with the certificates needed to obtain the free benefit of the ECA's insurance-backed Warranty and Bond (click on the links for sample certificates). Note that insurance, however, is optional for customers.

Each of the firms registered here for security systems additionally meets police requirements concerning intruder alarms.

If you have a complaint about work carried out for you, contact the firm concerned in the first instance. If you are unable to resolve the issue with the firm then the ECA, as TrustMark scheme operator, will investigate and endeavour to resolve the matter. Please refer to our Complaints Management Policy for more details.

Please note that for each firm listed here a figure is provided for its 'Contract Value Limit' – this is the maximum value of a job the firm is entitled to carry out as a TrustMark-registered firm. In the event that the value of a job exceeds a firm's 'Contract Value Limit', the above-mentioned insurance-backed Warranty and Bond become void and the firm will then be operating in default of TrustMark's requirements and the provisions of the scheme will no longer apply.
