What this trade covers
This trade belongs to second-fix work: what comes after the structure, from building services to joinery. There are many items, and anything missing from the quote quickly becomes an extra.
What to check on the quote
Two quotes only compare when they cover the same thing. These points often separate a complete offer from one that ends in extras.
Labour and materials
Hours and materials are on separate lines, with the brand or range of the materials.
Connections
Connections, testing and commissioning are included in the price or listed as separate items.
Making good afterwards
Filling, touch-up painting, cleaning: the quote says who takes care of it.
The company number
The quote shows the company's CBE number. Check it on the public search of the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises before you sign.
VAT, deposit and validity
The quote states the VAT rate applied, any deposit and how long the price is guaranteed.
VAT
In a private home more than ten years old, most works invoiced by the contractor go down to 6% VAT instead of 21%. The invoice must carry the statement required for the reduced rate.

Frequently asked questions
Veranda: what budget should you plan in 2026?
The price depends on the job, the materials and the access. Describe your project and compare several written quotes: it is free for homeowners.
Should these works come before the finishes?
