Devon Builders: How to spot a cowboy builder

Cowboy builders are very much in the minority, but they are out there, so how can you protect yourself. Treat them with suspicion if they:

EVADE giving you references or details of previous jobs
OFFER you a 'cheap' deal for cash-in-hand.
SUGGEST you can avoid paying VAT for cash
CONFUSE you with jargon and complicated explanations
INSIST that a written contract is not necessary
SAY they can start tomorrow (a good builder is usually busy)
CAN'T give you costings because 'things may change'
LAUGH when you suggest showing them plans
GIVE you a surprisingly low quote
CAN only be reached by mobile and don't have an address on their card
ASSURE you the details are their problem and you don't need to worry
KNOCK the opposition

One sure-fire way to avoid cowboys is to look for the FMB logo - the sign of building quality - on builders' vans, stationery or advertising. Whatever you do, follow our simple guidelines for choosing and working with a builder.

Whatever you do, follow our simple guidelines for choosing and working with a builder,

Ask for references and talk to previous customers. A good builder will provide you with credentials and references, so try to visit previous jobs similar to your own.
If the builder is a member of a trade association, check the membership criteria - and make sure they really are a member, rogue builders have been known to falsely claim membership.
Get estimates from two or three different builders. Be clear about what you want done and ask for a written specification and quotation.
Avoid adding to the job or changing your mind halfway through - it will usually cost more and cause delays. Confirm any changes you do make in writing.
Use a contract.
Agree any staged and final payments before work starts.
Avoid dealing in cash.
If any problems arise whilst work is in progress, or you are unhappy about anything, talk to your local Devon builder right away
