9. Never Work Without A Contract
9. Never Work Without A Contract (Image 9 of 11)
George says: 'Never start a job without a contract, even if it's a basic letter signed by both parties. Ideally, make sure there's a detailed description of the works, make sure there's a price against each element of the works and make sure there's a reasonable time schedule allocated for the works. Never take on a contractor unless you've got proof of his insurance.'
