A new bit of research done by heatingforce.co.uk has revealed the most - and least - trusted cities in the UK when it comes to customers perceptions of tradesmen and if you’re from Belfast…well keep reading. The study found that London, Chelmsford and Lichfield are all perceived as supplying the most amount of trusted tradesmen. In contrast, the new data didn’t reflect well for the tradesmen from Belfast, Bangor and Dundee, with those cities occupying the unwanted stat as being some of the least trusted locations for tradesmen in the United Kingdom. As reported by In Your Area, the study was done by by utilising the government certified site Trustmark, experts discerned the number of tradesmen in each city by inputting the ‘city’ and then the following professions ‘electrician’, ‘plumber’, ‘carpenter and joiner’, ‘plasterer and renderer’ and ‘builder’. The total sum of these jobs was used to see which city has the highest (and lowest) number of trustworthy tradesmen. Here's a rundown of the 10 areas with the most and least options: Areas with the most trusted tradesmen: • London - 2,764 • St Albans - 2,468 • Chelmsford - 982 • Lichfield - 857 • Coventry - 821 • Wolverhampton - 771 • Manchester - 764 • Salford - 751 • Bradford - 706 • Wakefield - 70 Areas with the least trusted tradesmen: • Belfast - 95 • Perth - 94 • Bangor - 92 • Dundee - 79 • Armagh - 77 • Carlisle - 74 • St David's - 72 • Newry - 68 • Aberdeen - 51 • Derry - 46 • Inverness - 45 (H/T InYourArea)
