Access to the Ombudsman

The Ombudsman is an independent body with the authority to help you with dispute resolution if you’re not completely satisfied with an accredited installers’ work. Whilst all members are subject to an ongoing vetting process to ensure that they meet the required standard, having access to dispute resolution through the DGCOS gives you additional confidence and peace of mind. This service is completely free of charge, giving you access to an unbiased mediator without the need for any legal proceedings.

 

Ensure your investment is safeguarded by using a DGCOS member. For further information about the DGCOS visit: www.dgcos.org.uk.
