Saving money is a big concern for everyone when having any home improvement work done and nobody wants to pay over the odds. However, quality and durability are the most important points to consider. If these are compromised, then eventually you could end up spending a lot more. As well as having the hassle of having the work done all over again.
The damage that using an unscrupulous trader can do to your home, wallet and trust can be monumental so don’t take the risk and always use a trusted trader.
How can you spot a trusted traders from a cowboy builder?
- Make sure you do your research. With any improvement work you have research exactly what product or specifications you would like before you meet any companies. That way you will know exactly what you’re looking for and how much it should cost you. This will alert you to any unscrupulous traders who are trying to under or over charge you.
- Shop around and don’t go with the first product or installer you find. Compare prices, installation time and the benefits that products or companies can give you.
- Recommendations are one of the most valuable tools for both business and customers alike. It’s a proven way of customers’ putting their trust into companies and means you know from someone’s personal experience that you will be in good hands. If you are unsure about a company, ask to be put in touch with a customer who has had similar work done to see how they would rate them.
- Ensure that you receive a guarantee for both the products and labour and check the terms and conditions.
- Research the company’s accreditations and check that all their glazing products comply with FENSA; the industry standard for window and door installers ensuring they comply with building regulations. All FENSA registered companies are constantly reassessed to ensure consistency in their service and safety.
- If something doesn’t feel right stop the work completely until it’s sorted. If you’re not happy with how the work is being done, how much it’s costing or how long it’s taking make sure you let them know.
