Your CHECKLIST to Hiring A Trader

  • Does the contractor/trader hold all relevant licences and insurances to carry out the works agreed upon, e.g. do they have Public Liability insurance?

  • Does the contractor/trader hold all relevant certificates and accreditations, e.g. are they gas safe registered? (tradespeople carrying out gas works by law are required to be gas safe registered), do they have a Part P qualification for carrying out electrical works?

  • When it comes to larger projects, e.g. home extensions, loft conversions, house renovations, do they have the expertise and experience to take on projects of this scope?

  • Has the trader/contractor worked on projects similar to yours recently, and can they show you references?

  • Is the trader/contractor reputable? What did other homeowners have to say (reviews) about using their services, and did they recommend them?

  • Company information/trading history – how long has the contractor/trader been trading for, and are they a Ltd registered company?

  • We also recommend confirming these details in writing (if a dispute arises) between you and the contractor/trader before accepting their quotation:

    ◦ Is the quoted price fixed, and does it include material costs/removals?

    ◦ Whether the price quoted includes VAT?

    ◦ Start and finish dates for the project.

    ◦ Are deposits required? If yes, how much and for what?

    ◦ Do they guarantee the works, if so, for how long?

    ◦ Will they be subcontracting any of the works? If yes, are the subcontractors qualified, licensed and insured?

    ◦ Only pay for work that has been completed – Payment structure, how will payments be made? (Bank transfer, cheque, in instalments as the job progresses, etc.)
