Finding a reliable and trusted tradesperson is vital to any home repairs you want to undertake. Here are those tips you should know before employing a rope access company

1.   Make sure you get a quote in writing

Always make sure that following an initial assessment/visit to discuss the project, you get a quote in writing. It is very important that you know from the beginning what the job is going to entail such as whats included/involved with the work. Confirm before work starts whether the quote is fixed or an estimate.

2.   Have you done a rope access project like this before?

Its very beneficial for the customer to check whether the company has experience in handling the type of work that needs done, and you can ask for testimonials/images of that work to help put your mind at rest. This is especially important when dealing with building or roof repairs that you may have no real knowledge of.

3.   Value professionalism

Tradespeople should not be exempt from being professional in the workplace including conduct, manner and appearance. Traits such as good timekeeping, tidiness and communication are to be highly valued. Find out our approach to work here.

4.   Request a completion date

Of course sometimes unforeseen circumstances such as bad weather can delay a project and as a rope access company, safety is always a priority, but apart from this, work should always be finished as near to the set out date as possible.

5.    Don’t compromise on insurance

Make sure that the company holds public liability insurance as this gives liability protection against third party injuries and property damage which is very important when dealing with external building repairs.
