prove is set out below the list.

A published phone number is a claim. A number that a person dialled and a
person answered is a fact. It is the strongest thing this directory can say
about a company, which is why it is worth being precise about its limits.
It is not an endorsement. Somebody answered the phone.
That says nothing about the quality of the repair, the price, or how
quickly they arrive.
It is not a promise the number still works. Numbers get
reassigned. One company was removed from this directory because its
published number turned out to answer as a different business entirely,
which is exactly why this check exists.
It was not rung at 3am. These were business-hours calls.
82 companies here advertise round-the-clock cover and
38 of those have had a daytime answer, but testing
the overnight claim itself is separate work and is not done yet. When it
is, this page will say what actually happened.
The other 75 companies may answer just as reliably.
Nobody has dialled them yet, and an absent tick is our gap rather than a
mark against them.
Why we bother
Most directories publish whatever number they scraped and never touch it
again. That is how a restaurant with a dead walk-in ends up ringing a
disconnected line, or a company that stopped trading two years ago. Our verification findings record what we
found when we checked, including the parked domains and the numbers that
now reach somebody else.
If you rang one of these numbers and it did not go as described, tell us at [email protected] and we will
recheck it. A confirmation with a date on it is only worth something if we
are willing to withdraw it.
