Before you hire

• Ask for proof of public liability insurance and check the cover is enough for the size of the job.
• Get at least three written quotes that itemise labour and materials and say what is excluded.
• Extensions, loft conversions and structural changes usually need Building Regulations approval. Ask who will arrange it, and keep the completion certificate from your local council’s building control.
• If the work touches a shared wall or boundary, you may need to serve notice on neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 (England and Wales).
• Trade body membership, such as the Federation of Master Builders, is voluntary. It is a useful signal but does not replace checking references and insurance.
