Choosing a Supplier
Choosing a tradesperson to work in your home can be a daunting
prospect. How do you know the supplier you choose is reliable or
professional? How do you know their work will meet the standards
you expect? Don’t worry, the right home improvement supplier
is out there and can always be found if you follow some sensible
advice and a few proven rules.
For a start, check to see if there is an industry association for the type of work you want done then look through the directories
for a supplier who is a member. Otherwise, get a recommendation.
For instance, find out if one of your friends or colleagues has
had similar work done and were satisfied. Or perhaps they know
someone who has. You could look out for any trade signs erected
in your area while similar work is carried out on a house –
then talk to the home-owner to see if it has been carried out satisfactorily.
Another confidence check is to look through any advertising material
the supplier may have – a brochure, advertisement or web
site
– and see if they display any customer testimonials. Suppliers
who are proud of their work will willingly pass on the details
of happy customers.
Failing all else, learn as much as you can about the nature of
the work you want carried out. What are the main considerations?
Perhaps its a safety guarantee? Or the type of materials used?
(find out which are the cheap shortcuts to a quality job) A good
way to do this is to get quotes for the job from several
suppliers and discuss the options with each. You’ll soon learn a surprising
amount about how the job should best be carried out and what the
options are.
