I did a brief story today for the Observer about the Government launching a Trustmark scheme, where companies are inspected and if they're good they get the award.

It's been tried before (the Quality Mark) and failed, but we'll see.

In the mean time, there is always Homewise, on Whalley Road, which recommends contractors, will inspect the work when it's done and liaise with disputes. It's a great - and free - local service.

Interestingly enough on the Wembley issue - Radio 4's pm show played an interview recorded last year of the contractor's chief executive saying something like

"I can absolutely 100 per cent guarantee the stadium will be ope on cup final day and I will definitely be here in my seat and nowhere else."
