Google analytics and advertising (only if you allow them)

The agency that manages our Google adverts can see the same reports. These cookies are only set if you choose Allow cookies.

Links to other websites
Links to Checkatrade, Facebook, Google and WhatsApp take you to their own websites and apps, which set their own cookies under their own policies. We don't control those.

You can also delete or block cookies in your browser's settings: on an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings, then Safari (or your browser), then Clear History and Website Data. Blocking essential cookies may stop the forms working, in which case please call or email us instead.
