About your listing
Why is my business listed on Approved Tradesman?
Approved Tradesman is a directory designed to help people find trade businesses and make more informed choices.

A listing is not an endorsement
It does not mean we recommend the business.
A listing is not verification
Nothing has been checked until the record says so.
You can correct it
Claim it to put the details right, or ask us to.
Some business listings are created using publicly available business information and other reliable sources. A listing does not mean that a business has applied, joined, paid us, or become an Approved Tradesman. It also does not mean that we recommend the business.
If you own or represent the business, you can claim the listing and update its details, ask us to correct inaccurate information, or contact us to ask us to review a listing or personal information you believe should not appear.
An ownership-confirmed business with active membership is shown as an Approved Tradesman. Completed checks are always shown separately, so customers can see exactly what was checked.
Requests to review or correct a listing, including anything you believe should not appear, are handled by our team through the contact process.
