FAQs
Q: How accurate are you in estimating the timescale of a job?
A: Most of the time a job is finished on time, although I do not make this my priority as quality supercedes time. Sometimes hidden problems surface that extend the estimated timescale but if this happens I’ll immediately highlight them to you.
Q: I have lots of different jobs that need doing including tiling, plumbing and some minor electrical work. Do I need to find other contractors or can you undertake all this type of work?
A: With over 30 years’ experience I can undertake most work. The only areas that I am not able to fulfil are works involving Gas, major electrical work such as house rewires, consumer units and any new electrical works in bathrooms together with larger building projects.
Q: Are you insured, just in case there is a problem with any damages?
A: I am fully insured against any damages or injuries and I hold public liability, which is a legal requirement for any professional tradesman to hold.
Q: Can I get an estimate by email or phone?
A: Whilst I can give you a ‘ball park’ figure by email or phone, without seeing the project this really would be a “guesstimate”. It is always best to assess each job individually by visiting your property and then I can provide a written quotation.
Q: I’ve decided to go ahead, but when can you start?
A: I will work with you to agree a convenient commencement date, obviously depending on the availability of materials. At the moment there is an average wait time of between 4 and 8 weeks, however, if it’s a smaller job then I can often squeeze this in at the end of a larger project but before starting another.
Q: Do you work at weekends?
A: Unfortunately no. Weekends are dedicated to spending time with my family.
Q: Do you charge for quotations?
No. I provide FREE no-obligation quotations and, based on my knowledge and experience, I am confident I would be able to give you a competitive price.
Q: Can I get feedback on recently completed jobs?
Yes. Please look through this website to get an idea of the work quality and to view genuine customer testimonials. I also have some lovely customers who would be willing for you to view works carried out first hand.
