Payment is absolutely not required upfront. A detailed contract will be drawn up which will state set milestones customised to your project/works when interim payments will be required. The final payment will be required only once all works are completed. Our most common payment terms are between 3 and 4 intervals. An initial payment may be required just before commencement of the work, this is often to go towards non-returnable items such as bespoke windows or staircases

No. If you own the property, we are happy to offer free quotation. Otherwise, it is costed at a one off fee of £40.00 per property. This is because the chances of the works actually happening are slim due to the purchasing process, with many deals falling through. As you can probably appreciate, doing estimates for many properties that are not owned is very time consuming.

This is usually 3 months. If you require a longer price guarantee, please speak to us.

The best way to judge our work is to see it for yourselves and to hear what our customers say about us. During your free consultation, you will always be offered the opportunity to visit examples of our work and speak to our customers.
