Under the stars

Some firms weight where your review goes. We do not.

Look at the picture. That is their own film, on their own website. Trustpilot. Google. Facebook. Yelp. Yell. Etsy. A firm can set the percentages. Forty five to one site. Fifty five to another. Zero to the rest. Their voice says fifty, thirty, twenty, or whatever mix makes sense for the brand.

That is a published product. Some builder companies use it. It is not a secret crime. The family reading the stars is not shown the sliders.

We open each site we can and we count it once. A fattened channel cannot bury a thinner one. Write when you have lived with the job.

The register

Did you know there are 5.5 million businesses on Companies House?

That is the live register. Just because a business is on it does not mean we recommend them. Our job at FAQ A Trader is to help you find the firm you are about to pay, read what is already on the public record, and get through the hard part of trusting someone with your project before you hand over a deposit.

5.5 million names

That is the live list. It is not our say-so.

Not a nod

A company number is not a recommendation.
