Marion Rogers, J R Flat Roofing (UK) Ltd
"At JR Flat Roofing, we are very proud to be members of the Buy with Confidence scheme through Cornwall Council.
Joining the scheme was an important step for our business because it clearly demonstrates our commitment to high standards of workmanship, honesty, and customer care. Being part of Buy with Confidence helps reassure our customers that they are choosing a trading standards approved contractor they can rely on.
Since becoming members, we have found that the scheme has helped strengthen customer trust and confidence in our services, especially when new customers are deciding who to work with. It gives them extra peace of mind knowing our business has been vetted and approved.
For us, Buy with Confidence represents professionalism, accountability, and quality service — values that are at the heart of everything we do at JR Flat Roofing. We are very happy to be part of the scheme and proud to support the excellent work it does for both businesses and customers".
Tanya Gabb, Andrew Marks Upholstery Services Ltd
"Being a Buy With Confidence member has been a real asset to our business. Customers across Cornwall and the South West often recognise the Cornwall Council approval, and it immediately builds trust before we even arrive. As a company working in customers’ homes, that authorised trust is extremely valuable and helps people feel confident choosing us for furniture repairs and restoration.
Membership reinforces that we are vetted, monitored, and committed to high standards of workmanship and customer care. We’ve found that many customers specifically mention the scheme when booking, saying it gave them reassurance that they were dealing with a reputable and professional company.
For us, Buy With Confidence is more than a badge — it’s independent validation that supports our reputation, improves customer confidence, and helps distinguish us from unverified operators.
We’re proud to be members and would absolutely recommend the scheme to both customers and other businesses".
Barry Webb, JCC Webb Construction
“Since becoming a member of Buy with Confidence, we have seen a noticeable increase in both the volume of work and the confidence our clients place in our services. Being associated with a trusted and reputable organisation such as this has significantly strengthened our credibility and reassured customers that they are choosing a reliable contractor.
The Buy with Confidence scheme has not only helped us attract new clients but has also enhanced our professional reputation within the community. Many customers specifically mention the scheme when choosing us, which clearly demonstrates the value and trust your organisation brings.
We are proud to be part of the Buy with Confidence scheme and truly appreciate the support and recognition it provides. We look forward to continuing our relationship and maintaining the high standards expected as a Trading Standards Approved business. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of such a respected network”.
Chris Ingram, Continal Underfloor Heating
“Being approved for Buy With Confidence has helped assure our new customers that they can place orders with us with confidence.
As a Cornwall based family run business, we operate in a global market with huge multi-national corporations as our competitors. Even though we've been going for 26 years, selling energy-efficient warm-water underfloor heating systems nationally, it give us the edge we need to compete.
Buy With Confidence literally does allow our customers to buy with confidence.”
Sam Harris and James Southern, Newport Motor Company
“Being part of the Buy With Confidence scheme has been really valuable for us as a business. It gives our customers that extra reassurance that they’re dealing with a trusted and vetted garage, which is especially important in the motor trade.
We’ve found that it helps build confidence from the first point of contact, whether that’s through our website, adverts, or when customers visit us in person. A lot of people mention it specifically, and it definitely helps them feel more comfortable choosing us.
For us, it’s about showing that we’re committed to doing things properly — being transparent, fair, and offering a good level of service both before and after the sale. That’s exactly why we signed up in the first place, and it continues to be something we’re proud to be part of.”
