My Cowboy Builders Hell

This blog is offered by way of a cautionary tale. It is also predicated on the notion that builders can't be trusted. Many households are having lofts built now, for various reasons. Hence a huge increase in the number of those bidding for your hard earned cash. Here are some points worth remembering when choosing:

1. don't choose a "packaging" company. Make sure the builder you hire will be actually doing the work.
2. Establish there is a proper guarantee.
3. Look at the roof yourself. Dangerous I know. But you could have photographs. We would not have approved our final roof had we seen it.
