  • Contracts. Do I/should I get something drawn up and signed before work starts or is that overkill?

  • It's not that usual for small works, i.e. the amount you are doing. If you're above £50k then probably but it's usually not worth the paper it's written on if push comes to shove. I've heard of multimillionaires who insist on contracts which the builders always fall foul of and end up with penalties deducted from their money.

  • How big is the job? A contract may not be necessary but I would get everything in writing before starting. The scope of the job, expected times/dates, any retention amount and payment terms.
