Are you a Repair Business? Join our eco-community.

At We Are Repairs, we believe in the power of skilled craftspeople to make a real difference in the world by promoting repair over replacement. We’re committed to helping small, independent repair businesses like yours grow and gain the visibility you deserve. When you sign up for a Featured or Premium membership with us, you’ll join a platform dedicated to promoting your services while connecting you with customers who need your expertise.

Before we approve your Premium listing, we carry out a thorough verification process to ensure that only the best repair businesses are represented on our site. Here’s what we check—and why it benefits you as a trusted repair professional:

1. Photo ID Check
To confirm your identity, we’ll ask for a photograph ID, like a passport or driver’s license. This simple step is part of our commitment to ensuring that the businesses we feature are legitimate and trustworthy.

2. Address Verification
We’ll ask for a recent utility bill or bank statement to confirm your trading address. This ensures that your business is operating from a valid location, giving customers confidence that they’re working with a real, established repair business. If you work from your home address and do not want to post your full address on your profile that is ok but we do require proof in order to set up your profile.

3. Qualifications and Memberships Check
If you’re a member of any recognised professional bodies, such as the British Horological Society, we’ll verify your membership. This helps boost your credibility by confirming your qualifications and expertise, which can give you a competitive edge when customers are choosing who to trust with their repairs.

4. Public Liability Insurance
For specific repair categories, such as Upholstery & Soft Furnishings and Wooden Furniture, we require proof of Public Liability Insurance. This isn’t just a requirement – it’s a sign that you’re responsible and prepared for any unforeseen circumstances that may arise during a repair job. Having insurance also helps potential customers feel more confident in your services, knowing they’re protected.

5. Media Check
We conduct a media search on your business and personal name across various media platforms like Google and social media (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter). This helps us ensure your business maintains a positive online presence, and it gives you the opportunity to address any concerns or negative feedback early. A strong, clean reputation online can make a big difference in attracting new customers.

6. Limited Company History Check
If you’re a registered Limited Company, we’ll review your information on Companies House, ensuring you follow good business practices and file your accounts on time. This demonstrates your commitment to good financial and business management, and it can boost your reputation with customers looking for trustworthy, stable businesses.

7. Financial Checks
We check the Companies House Bankruptcy and Insolvency Register to ensure your business is not currently listed as bankrupt or insolvent. For sole traders, we’ll look at your name and any associated trading names. This is essential for providing potential customers with the peace of mind that you’re financially stable and can deliver the services you offer.

8. Disqualified Directors Check
We verify that you or any of your directors aren’t listed on the Register of Disqualified Company Directors. This check ensures that you have a clean business record and that you’re operating in full compliance with regulations. It’s another way of showing that your business is reputable and trustworthy and reinforces your credibility in the eyes of potential customers.

9. Review Check
We check third party review sites like Google Reviews, Trustpilot and Feefo to ensure you have had a proven track record of satisfied customers.

10. Duplicate Check
Finally, we cross-check our database to ensure that your business hasn’t been previously rejected or suspended from the platform. This is part of our commitment to maintaining a high standard of integrity in the businesses we promote, ensuring that only reputable repairers are featured.
