"Rogue builders" although in the minority decidedly give the structure manufacture a bad name and scarcely a week goes by without there being however another TV program about the so called "Builders from Hell". With the aid of invisible cameras these "Rogue Builders" are unwrapped in presence of millions of lookers when they blatantly try to cheat customers out of their hard gained cash.



So how can you protect yourself from these distasteful qualities who unscrupulously rip off trustful members of the public? The following are some assistive propositions to see before hiring a builder.

1.Always ask for reference points and details of previous jobs. Go to see these jobs wherever possible.

A good builder will be only too delighted to show you evidence of his expertise.

2.Be wary if they provide 'cheap deals' for "cash-in hand" jobs or hint you can avoid paying VAT for cash.

3.If they do not require to commit themselves to a written contract they should be avoided like the plague.

4.If they state they can start immediately be wary, as a good builder is commonly busy.

5.If they make you a amazingly little quotation you should treat this with suspiciousness.

6.If they seem reluctant to appear at plans or to talk about the details this should also settled off alarm bells.

7.If they can only be reached by mobile phone and are reluctant to divulge where they live then this should be seen as a red flag.

8.If they try out to puzzle you with perplexed explanations when asked apparently smooth queries they may be graduates of the "If you can't convince em jumble em" school of builders and you know that it may not be in your best interests to employ them.

9.If they say they are a member of a deal connection, make sure to check it out as anybody can say they are a member when in fact they are not.

10.Obtain at to the lowest degree three written quotations from various builders and be very special about what you want done.Leave very little room for misunderstanding and this will pay dividends further down the line.

11.Now is the time to clear up everything and make sure that no gray areas exist particularly interpreting payments and when they should be arrived at.

12.If any problems rise up during the building up work sort it out with your builder straight away and make sure he fully realise your directions.
