It is truly a baffling task for many to cherry-pick a specific tradesperson from the endless list of local vendors who provide the same kind of services. If you go and find a directory online where all the local tradespeople are listed and categorized, inviting and receiving tradesmen quotes will not be a problem for you. However, the dilemma starts right here. The prices for same kind of services (e.g. kitchen installation) largely vary. You will find differences in the terms and conditions laid down by different tradespeople too. If you are in receipt of ten or more quotations, you may find it quite difficult to choose the best quote from the lot. However, the best local tradesmen can be singled out on the basis of the following factors.

Get a quote in written
Reputable tradesmen always put forth their service proposals along with detailed costs and other terms and conditions. On the other hand, some tradesmen are there who prefer to set forth their proposal via telecommunication. This proves that the vendor is either a fly-by-night business or lacks the professional skills and expertise. Tradesmen quotes should always be put forth in written and you should insist a local vendor to send in a written quote with his service T&C and price properly furnished in it. He should mention his registration details, public liability insurance number and other related details. If you can find quotes from local tradesmen in written, you can easily check the T&C and costs and make an educated selection.

Is the tradesman furnishing reference/recommendation?
What’s the point hiring a tradesman who has never worked in this field before? Is he trying to conceal something from you? A reputable tradesman will definitely be able to provide references and recommendations received from his previous clients in the written quote or as and when required. When inviting tradesmen quotes from the service providers in your area do not forget to ask for references of their previous works and recommendations from satisfied clients. A reputable tradesman will include the references in his written quote even if you have forgotten to ask for the same. These references and recommendations build credibility and they well know this fact. Find local tradesmen who have got good client feedbacks. There is another way to find these reliable tradespersons, networking. Though an old trick, it still works. Ask your colleagues and friends to know whether they know any reliable tradesperson personally.

Choose a listing service
Finding a tradesman comes even easier if you use a web directory where these tradesmen are listed. These web directories also rate the tradesmen. Therefore, you can receive tradesmen quotes after gathering enough information about them. Moreover, you can choose from the categories, specify your requirements, specify how soon you need to get the job done and choose from the list of postcodes. This way, you can narrow down your search and find local tradesmen only. Just choose from the list of local tradespeople and contact them one by one.
