Best Practise, when employing a tradesman

Be specific and set out a detailed, clear brief when requesting at least three quotes. Ask friends and family for a recommendation and check the TrustMark website at www.trustmark.org.uk to ensure that the tradesman is registered for the particular trades you require. Use a firm that advertises using a landline phone number and be very wary of those only willing to give you a mobile number

Seek references, speak to previous customers and if a reasonable sized job, visit previous jobs. Don't just go with the cheapest, consider your ability to communicate with the firm and the quality of their work. Only pay for work that has been done and not by advance payments.

If materials need to be bought in advance by the tradesman, it is reasonable that the customer is asked to pay a fair percentage of these costs as the job progresses. Always use a written contract as it offers you protection if anything does go wrong. Agree in writing any changes to the agreed contract value and ensure these are agreed in writing before the work is done.
