A deposit over about a quarter of the job is unusual. Never pay one by bank transfer to a new account without a written contract. What to check before you pay

Came out to look at our period sash window and sent a written quote for a re-cord and draught-proofing repair. Knowledgeable and polite. Quote was a bit higher than expected so we are weighing it up before deciding.
Chiltern Home Improvements replied
Thank you for considering us, Priya, and for the kind words. A period sash deserves care, so our quote is for a careful re-cording and draught-proofing that keeps your original timber rather than replacing it, preserving the character of the window. We are happy to talk it through - we can itemise the quote line by line, or phase the work if that helps with budget. No pressure at all; take your time and we are here whenever you are ready. - Daniel, Chiltern Home Improvements

Daniel and the team did a lovely job on the front cladding - neat lines, cleared up every day and kept us informed throughout. Turned up when promised. Priced very fairly, would happily recommend.

Thank you so much, Priya - it was a pleasure working on the front of your home. We are really glad you are happy with the finish and that we kept the site tidy day to day. The quote reflected taking off the old render first and fitting a quality cladding board, so the elevation is properly protected for years to come. Do get in touch if you ever need anything looked at. - Daniel, Chiltern Home Improvements
