Questions to ask cavity wall insulation experts near you
The best way to find out if a local specialist is right for the job is to have a chat with them.
By asking a few specific questions you can find out who has the right skills and experience…
Do you have references for previous customers?
Speaking to previous customers is an excellent way of finding out the quality of the service that a tradesperson offers.
Do you have insurance?
Whatever home improvement job you’re planning, it’s important to work with tradespeople who have the appropriate insurance.
They’ll need suitable cover for their work, just in case anything goes wrong.
That’s why we make it mandatory for all Checkatrade members to have up-to-date public liability insurance to be listed in our directory.
What’s your availability and when can you do the work?
The best local tradespeople will often get booked up in advance, so it’s helpful to plan ahead as much as you can. The earlier you book them in, the better.
It’s also a good idea to ask them how long they think it will take them to carry out the work. And exactly what you can expect as part of the job.
How much do you charge?
It’s always important to find out how much they’ll charge. Make sure you ask for a breakdown of costs so that you can compare them with quotes from other tradespeople.
As part of the quoting process, make sure they give you details of exactly what is included in their price – such as labour, materials, and waste disposal.
