ARB Approved
Did you know that less then 2% of the country’s 20,000 tree surgeons are officially accredited?
The Arboricultural Association who are leaders in arboricultural best practice run the ARB Approved Contractor (ArbAC) scheme, the only comprehensive accreditation scheme for tree surgeons in the UK.
Qualification requirements and expected standards are very high and that’s why we are proud to now be accredited.
Standards of excellence need to be met in areas including:
Operations, knowledge and work standards
Health and safety compliance and training
Customer care
Compliance with environmental practices
Training and development.
Additionally, ARB Approved Contractors must demonstrate suitable qualifications, all of the required insurances (including Public Liability, Employers’ Liability and Professional Indemnity), and also work in compliance with British Standard BS 3998:2010 and uphold best practices across the business.
That’s why it’s important to choose a company who are ARB approved and accreditation is only the first step! The company must demonstrate ongoing compliance to remain approved and accredited.
ARB Accreditation provides peace-of-mind to customers as the AA can help with mediation and investigate contractors when complaints arise, which is why you can have confidence in our week and feel reassured that we are working to the highest standards.
Trustmark is the only Government endorsed quality scheme for work carried out in or around your home.
Businesses who sign up to Trustmark agree to meet the required standards of technical competence, customer service and trading practices to give customers confidence and peace-of-mind.
