The Registered Builders Scheme was initially set up in September 2004 in response to the growing number of complaints received by Carmarthenshire County Council Trading Standards Services regarding rogue builders and substandard quality of work. 

Historically, the Trading Standards Services in Carmarthenshire deal with more complaints about the building trade than any other trade sector and reputable businesses are fed up with the image that all builders are incompetent or worse.

Objectives of the Scheme

Therefore Trading Standards decided to attempt to tackle this problem by setting up a form of registration system whereby reputable builders would sign up to a Code of Practice that required them to trade fairly and honestly and abide by the relevant legislation.
            
Carmarthenshire County Council hopes you find this list of registered builders and traders useful.

Please note the following before contacting a trader on the list:

• The undertakings by the traders have been accepted in good faith. Inclusion of a trader on the list does not mean that the Council guarantees the work or accepts any responsibility for any aspect of the work or any agreement made with the customer.
• Success of the register depends upon consumer support and feedback. Please complete the feedback form that a registered trader will offer you, or let us know if the trader fails to do this.
• If you have any queries about the list please telephone Trading Standards on 01554 742303 or email direct@carmarthenshire.gov.uk  

The list is divided into different categories, each showing the trading name, trading address and contact details and whether a member of any Trade Association.
