Here are some useful tips when considering hiring a tradesman or contractor to carry out work for you:

• Ask for references or testimonials
• Are they qualified in their specified trade?
• Check that they are qualified to carry out the work
• Make sure that the contractor has adequate public liability insurance
• Is the work guaranteed?
• Does the work include material, labour and  VAT?
• How long have they been in business?
• Ask to see examples of previous work?
• Be sure to get at least 2 quotes
• Don't necessarily go for the cheapest quote
• Be clear about the standard of workmanship that will take place and exactly what you are getting for your money; for example what stages of work will be carried out

This is only a guide to make an informed choice and you should always clarify any areas of concern before going ahead.
