Search for a Competent Person

Search Tips

If you are having trouble finding a particular business, or finding businesses in a particular location, please bear in mind the following points:

To make searching easier, you only need enter the first few letters of the business name or location. You must enter at least 2 characters for the search to work.
Text can be entered in upper or lower case as the search is not case sensitive.
The search works on matching text strings, so if the business you are searching for cannot be found, try entering only a single word or the first few letters in the business name.
When entering a post code it is advisable to only enter the prefix, should you wish to enter the suffix as well please ensure that you leave a space between the prefix and suffix.
Avoid using terms such as Ltd or Limited, as abbreviations may not be consistent with those used in our database.
If the search returns a large number of businesses try narrowing your search by entering other options such as location or scope.
If the business name you are searching for includes the character "&", then please use "and" instead. (Use "A and B Electrical" instead of "A & B Electrical").
