What to confirm before agreeing
Sizing, fuel, electrical work and commissioning need appropriately qualified trades.
Ask for a written scope that identifies preparation, protection, connected trades, disposal, finishing and the agreed completion checks. Confirm the responsible provider’s qualifications, insurance and any local requirements for this work. Ask how concealed conditions and changes are approved before additional charges arise.
Budget and timing
Location, access, existing conditions, product choices and the work included affect the quotation. This page describes a type of request; it does not promise a price, local availability, an appointment or a verified provider match. Confirm any assessment fee and commercial terms directly.
Leave the next stage clear.
