Practical guide
A practical checklist for comparing a short list of tradespeople.
Start with the essentials
Describe the job clearly before asking for a quote. Include the location, likely timing and any access limits.
Check the details
Ask each business to explain what is included, what is excluded and when payment is due. Keep the scope in writing.
Before you decide
For work that needs a specific qualification or registration, check the relevant official register yourself. Avoid relying on a badge displayed without a source.
