At CGS Gloucester we recommend you consider the following points before hiring a contractor to complete the works. This will help ensure you don’t hire a ‘fly by night’ contractor or ‘scammer’ who might not deliver the quality of workmanship that you expected and paid for.
1) Obtain more than one quote for your driveway installation or repair. Most reputable companies such as CGS Gloucester offer free quotations and on-site surveys for driveway projects.
2) Consider visiting previous installations and work sites completed by the contractors, and where possible contact previous clients for testimonials.
3) Choose a contractor with a good reputation within your local area. Word-of-mouth and recommendations are always a good indication of the quality of the contractor.
4) Alway insist that all agreements relating to finances, services and guarantees are put in writing prior to the works beginning.
5) Insist the contractor has the proper liability insurance cover prior to starting the works.
