Customer experiences. Clear ratings.

Our ratings are based on feedback from customers who purchased or used the business’s services. Our team reviews the information supplied and compiles it against a consistent checklist, covering the customer experience from the quote to payment and paperwork. Some contributors may be personally known to our team; their feedback is assessed against the same criteria. Government ATF information is checked separately against the linked official register. The overall rating combines the nine customer-feedback service scores with the ATF register score, giving each check equal weight and rounding the result to a whole star.

Understanding the scores

Scores run from 0 to 5: 0 means failed, 1 major shortcomings, 2 below the expected standard, 3 meets the expected standard, 4 strong performance and 5 excellent performance supported by evidence. Each business has nine service scores compiled from customer feedback and one official ATF register score. The overall rating is their equal-weight average, rounded to a whole star.

These compiled assessments are not a simple average of individually submitted customer star ratings. The team is responsible for the scoring and published summaries. Business details, official sources and the ten individual scores help readers understand the assessment.
