Buy with Confidence

Rapid Pest Control are delighted to be approved for the Buy With Confidence Scheme which ensures our clients that we are a credible organisation which has been independently vetted for our processes and business practices, ensuring you get the right service and pricing you would expect.

So what is the Buy With confidence Scheme?

The Buy With Confidence scheme was first launched by Trading Standards in 1999. The service was launched to attack the ever growing problem of “rogue traders” who prey on venerable and easy targets, giving poor service and high prices. It started life as a collection of different Trading Standards offices facing the same problem, which came together in 2008 under the ‘Buy With Confidence’ banner by which time over 20 local authorities were participating.

The Buy with Confidence is run through the cooperation of a number of Trading Standards Services. It is considered that Trading Standards has the right expertise and motivation to offer a scheme which offers genuine benefits consumers and businesses. Accordingly, the Buy with Confidence scheme is administered by local authority Trading Standards Services directly, and is not outsourced.

How do businesses become a Buy With Confidence Member?

In order to become a Buy with Confidence member, a business must first apply or be recommended to join the scheme and must then pass a set of tailored background checks.

Membership of the scheme is not given lightly – amongst other checks, each applicant will have their complaints history reviewed and will receive a visit from Trading Standards to assess suitability and records. Good references are required from previous customers and applicants must agree to abide by the scheme’s code of conduct, which requires them to follow the letter and spirit of the law. Criminal records disclosure is also be required where trades are working in Schools or in domestic houses.

Only if all the scheme requirements are met, will a business be granted membership, and their conduct will continue to be monitored thereafter by Trading Standards.
