Planning a home improvement project, but not sure where to start?
First plan your home renovations by replacing your windows or conservatory. Next find a recommended tradesmen who is not only local to your area but also trusted by friends, work colleagues or a trade association to do a great job.
Next ask that company if they are happy to provide you with an insurance backed guarantee. An IBG is very important when you are spending thousands of pounds with a contractor. This insurance backed guarantee will protect you should the contractor go out of business as it takes over the contractors guarantee.
Here are five good reasons for choosing a Home Pro vetted building professional like Rainhill Windows:
- Checked by us. All Homepro members have had legal and financial checks and been trading for at least a year.
- Workmanship guarantees. Your Homepro trusted tradesman can offer you an insurance backed guarantee (IBG) which covers faulty workmanship for a period of up to ten years, should the contractor have ceased to trade for financial reasons.
- References. We have a star system; ratings are provided by the tradesman’s previous customers. Ratings are based on customer feedback in the following areas: quality, timeliness, value for money and courtesy. It’s easy to check how many stars your builder has and read testimonials relating to their previous contracts!
- Customer Charter. All Homepro members sign up to a Customer’s Charter which commits them to a series of values including providing a written quotation, arriving on time and leaving the work site safe, clean and tidy afterwards. If they fail to adhere to the Charter and you are not satisfied, HomePro offer a free conciliation service, where we would mediate between the two parties to bring the contract to a satisfactory conclusion.
- Local choice. You probably don’t want someone from John O’Groats turning up to work on your house if you live in Merseyside, even if they are good! By contacting a Home Pro backed tradesmen you will find a reputable tradesmen, who have been fully vetted, and are based, in your local area.
HomePro operate two main company brands - HomePro and FairTrades. FairTrades is a tradesmens association open to most trades throughout the UK. The trade association has a wide range of products and services that have been developed to promote and support local and nationally based businesses operating in the building trade, double glazing, roofing and loft conversions and even plumbers and electricians for many years.
