• Request a clear written quote covering labour, materials, access requirements and any likely variations before work begins.
• Ask whether the provider holds suitable public liability insurance, particularly for roofing, landscaping and property work.
• Plan ahead for seasonal demand: roof repairs, heating-related upgrades and hot-water work may be especially busy during colder or wetter periods.
