Our rules of the trade

A dripping tap is never just a dripping tap.

By the time you can hear it, the washer went months ago.

The cheapest quote is the most expensive one.

Twice. Once to do it, once to undo it.

Nobody has ever regretted asking what it costs first.

A written number is not a hard conversation. A surprise invoice is.

If you can see the crack, the wall told you months ago.

Movement leaves a trail. Read it before you fill it.

The person who answers the phone matters.

You can tell everything about a firm from who picks up on a Saturday.

Measure it. Then measure it again.

The second measurement is not for the wood. It is for you.

Doing it once properly beats doing it twice cheaply.

Every trade learns this the expensive way.

Old houses do not have square corners.

Anyone who quotes without visiting has not met your house.

Good work is quiet.

You notice bad work every day. Good work you forget about.

We quote beforewe start. Always.On purpose.

Plenty of firms will start work and tell you the number afterwards. We do not. You see a price, you agree it, then we begin — and if the job turns out bigger than it looked, we stop and re-quote rather than adding it to the bill.

It costs us the occasional job. It is why the rest of them come back.
