Did you know that Trading Standards receive more
than 100,000 complaints per year from disgruntled homeowners
complaining about rogue tradesmen? Therefore, it
is important that a written contract exists between a builder
and customer to protect both parties in the event that a
dispute should arise.
It works both ways.. as a homeowner your tradesperson presents
you with a final bill for several hundred pounds more than
was quoted - for unforeseen circumstances. or as a
tradesperson your client denies that work was authorised
or was not as stated or thought that you were doing those
little extras as part of the price.
Well now you can eliminate the uncertainty and help protect
your valuable client/tradesperson relationship. Remember,
either party (client or tradesperson) can prepare a written
contract and as long as it is agreed and signed by both
parties then it will be effective and binding.
However,

well, now thanks to The UK Trades Confederation you neednt
worry. Simply chose one of the options below and away
you go.
