I am someone who always dread the time when I have to find a builder or crafts man/woman to do work in my house. This books arms you with the knowledge to choose a good builder and to know what needs to be done. The section at the back about the trade associations.. what they do, mean and who belongs to them .. it completely invaluable. It refers you to trade associations that have websites that you can use to search for associated builders.

I am getting my loft converted & this book has helped me to know what I need to do, expect & how to find a good insured builder.
