Advice about choosing a trade person

 
  • Always get at least three written quotes that list all of the work to be carried out.
 
  • Beware of people that only have a mobile telephone number and  do not have `proper` business documents that include an address.
 
  • Do not pay in advance, pay when the work is completely finished and you are satisfied.
 
  • Do not choose a contractor just because a generous guarantee is offered. A guarantee will be worthless if the trader goes out of business.
