- Confirm public liability insurance (normally £2m or more) and employers' liability if they bring a team
- Agree that the electrician notifies building control and issues the Electrical Installation Certificate
- Get a written quote with a fixed price, not a verbal estimate
- Ask for an EICR if you're buying, letting or the consumer unit looks dated
- Be wary of deposits above 10–20% of the total

Plumber in Liverpool
When water is dripping under the sink or a drain backs up, you don't want to spend days searching for a firm. And before a bathroom fit-out you really don't want someone who cuts corners — that rarely shows immediately, but it has a habit of resurfacing as an insurance dispute or a leak a few years later.
Removals company in Liverpool
Moving is hard enough on its own. You don't also want to worry about a crew turning up late, working without insurance, or suddenly asking for cash at the door. Removals is an easy trade to get burned in — especially in cities and at the end of the month, when demand peaks.
Cleaning company in Liverpool
A good cleaning company makes a home feel like it looks after itself. A bad one usually only becomes obvious when something is missing from a drawer or there's a scratch on the floor that wasn't there before. The difference rarely shows in the price — it's in the routines behind it.
Carpenter in Liverpool
Finding the right carpenter is rarely as simple as it sounds. The trade runs from heavy first-fix carpentry to millimetre-level joinery, and most firms specialise in one direction. Hire the wrong kind for the job and it shows fast — either in how it looks or in how long it lasts.
