Frequently asked questions
Are your quotes really free?
Yes. We come out, look at the job, talk it through and give you a clear written quote. No charge, no obligation and no pressure to go ahead.
Which areas do you cover?
We cover York, Harrogate, Knaresborough, Wetherby, Easingwold, Haxby, Tadcaster, Tockwith, Boroughbridge, Ripon, Thirsk and the villages in between. If you are nearby and not on the list, just ask.
Are you insured?
Fully insured, and happy to show you the paperwork before we start.
How soon can you start?
It depends on the size of the job and the time of year. Small jobs can often be slotted in within a couple of weeks; bigger projects are booked further ahead. Get in touch and we will give you an honest answer.
Do you take on small jobs?
Yes. From a single sticking door to a full extension, no job is too small. Plenty of our biggest projects started with a small repair.
Will you keep the site tidy?
Always. We sheet up, tidy as we go and leave your home clean at the end of every day. It is your house, not a building site.
