C-02 · Questions
Before you ask us out
Do you handle planning and building control?
Yes. For extensions and loft conversions we bring in our architect and structural engineer, submit the application, and deal with building control inspections through to the completion certificate. It is included in the quote, not billed as an extra.
How accurate is the quote?
The quote is a fixed price for the scope written on it. The two things that change it are a change you ask for, and something genuinely unforeseen once a wall or floor is open. In those cases we stop, show you, price the variation and get it agreed in writing before continuing.
Can we live in the house while you work?
For extensions, lofts and single-room work, almost always. For a full renovation with the house back to brick, no. We tell you plainly at the quote which one you are looking at.
What guarantee do we get?
Ten years on our workmanship, in writing, plus the manufacturer warranties on everything installed. Structural work is covered by the building control completion certificate.
How far ahead are you booking?
Usually six to twelve weeks for larger work, and often sooner for bathrooms, kitchens and decorating. Ask and we will tell you the real date, not an optimistic one.
