How to Choose the Right Tradesman in Durham

Before hiring a tradesman or a team of tradesmen, it’s wise to consider:

• Read client reviews – See how previous clients rated their reliability, workmanship, communication and clean-up.
   
• Check credentials – While not all trades legally require certification, look for experience, insurance, references, and relevant trade body memberships.
   
• Compare multiple written quotes – Get at least three quotes to compare cost, scope (labour, materials, trades included), timeframe and payment terms.
   
• Inspect the quote’s detail – What’s included/excluded: materials, prep work, waste removal, access, scaffolding, finishes?
   
• Ask about sub-trades & coordination – For larger jobs, you may need a tradesman who can manage or coordinate other trades (electricians, plumbers, plasterers).
   
• Check for hidden costs – Access difficulties, structural surprises, late finishes, hidden trades may add up.
   
• Beware very low quotes – If a quote is far below averages, ensure you understand what’s being omitted (quality, materials, finishing, warranty).
   
• Align the skills with job type – A general handyman is fine for small tasks; larger projects often require specialist tradesmen or a builder/trades-contractor.
   
• Check timelines & clean-up – Good tradesmen minimise disruption, leave the site tidy and finish on budget/time.
