The problem with the building trade at the moment is that there is no regulation over quality control. This allows people who are unqualified to be contracted for projects that they are unable to complete to the high standards of expectation. There are signs to help you catch these people with ease, such as avoidance of giving references, offering cheap cash in hand deals offer, they suggest avoiding VAT, they use confusing explanations, they insist a contract isn’t necessary, they can start quickly (good builders are busy), they cant give you an exact cost because ”things may change”, they are reluctant to look at plans, they give a low quote, they have no address on their business card, they assure you that they will take care of the details and you have no need to worry and they also tend to bad mouth the opposition. Any of these signs should sound alarm bells to you.
