F.A.Q's

We ARE able to work in houses as long as we maintain the 2 metre/6ft distancing requirement from the householder.
We cannot work in a house where an individual has symptoms of Coronavirus

FROM: GOV.UK/CORONAVIRUS
"Work carried out in people’s homes, for example by tradespeople carrying out repairs and maintenance, can continue, provided that the tradesperson is well and has no symptoms.
Again, it will be important to ensure that Public Health England guidelines, including maintaining a two-metre distance from any household occupants, are followed to ensure everyone’s safety. With the exception of the organisations covered above in the section on closing certain businesses and venues, the government has not required any other businesses to close – indeed it is important for business to carry on."

	COVID-19?		Updated -25th March 2020 We ARE able to work in houses as long as we maintain the 2 metre/6ft distancing requirement from the householder. We cannot work in a house where an individual has symptoms of Coronavirus.
	Will you deal with insurance companies?		Yes. We can give your insurance company an estimate for the work to be carried out before starting work

	Can we get the materials for you to use?		Yes, not a problem. We can recommend what to buy

	Where does the rubbish go?		For larger jobs, we can organise a skip for you or you can get a skip for us to use. It is entirely up to you.

	I have seen the program 'Cowboy Builders' on TV and I wonder should I pay up front for any works?		I would suggest that any building company of good standing would have credit with their suppliers for materials. They will have wages/subcontractors to pay on a weekly basis. However, as an example, our Company would not want paying in advance for a job as we need to be sure that you are happy with the work! Larger jobs, it's often the case to make stage payments once certain stages of the work have been completed. As a rough guide - a large rendering job will need scaffolding and the scaffolding company will need to be paid; either direct or to the contractor to pass on to the scaffolding company. Then, as a general rule a further payment would be required once the scratch coat has been applied to meet the wages bill for the days/weeks the staff/subcontractors have been on site. Then another payment after the rendering if painting is required and then at the end of the contract.
