Preparation for setting up own business

[Vortigern]

I think one of the areas you come unstuck with domestic work is where you have not got a signed contract that complies with trading standards. The contract should detail timescales, nature of specific items of agreed work listed. Also any extras to be recorded as variations and costed and agreed in writing to add to the original quote. Detailing specific items such as get a carpet layer to remove and replace carpets, get a plasterer to make good and who is going to get rid of waste. Complaints procedure and alternative resolution should all be detailed and a hefty deposit for materials on site which are owned by you until all monies due have been paid.
