I served a full apprenticeship, and I'm proud of the qualifications I
achieved and of recently being honoured with a Membership of the prestigious
Institute of Carpenters. In the course of over two decades of loft conversion
work,
I have naturally
tackled a vast range of different projects in a wide variety of homes and
businesses.
In my experience, the best jobs are done by firms that
spend time making careful plans, and that maintain constant, effective communication
with their clients. These firms also ensure that any craftsmen they employ are
not just fully qualified, but also care about the quality of the work they do
and their own reputation.
So, when I set up my own company, I was determined to
make it the best it could be — staffed by those experienced enough to cope
with
any
project,
but
always staying small enough to care, so that I can remain 'hands-on' at all times,
right from the initial estimate through to the final approval from the Local
Authority.
It's important that you understand this approach, because
when you ask us to build your loft conversion, you'll be seeing a lot of me!

Check-a-Trade
Check-a-Trade separates rogue trades from the honest and reliable. It stands for accountability
and credibility. Rogues will not want to be vetted
and will certainly not be willing to be monitored and have the results
made public. This is the core of what
will separate the
honest from the dishonest.
Accountability
All members undergo a vetting procedure and have
to agree to a code of conduct and ethics. All have to agree to give monitoring
cards out
to their
customers to fill in when the work has been completed. This really is putting
reputations to the test. The results of the monitoring cards and any recommendations
received via any other source will be displayed on a public forum.
