FIRST CLASS SERVICE - AGAIN

They came to my rescue when tricked by other contractors. I have used Balance & Company before for some internal decorations - never realised the range of their work ... this time re-tiling the roof (to replace those taken off by the other company). I cannot thank them enough for their prompt action to get me out of a hole. Look at 'About' they do what they say on the tin: Professional, friendly staff and always in contact about what and when. Next time I want ANY job done I know where I am going ... and have noted "no job to small" - that might have been my problem.

Excellent Work

This Company recently conducted building work (Driveway, Patio, Paths) at my property. Very professional and experienced outfit. Gary and Rick kept me informed of progress. Always left the site tidy at conclusion of each day. Work carried out was of the highest quality. Recommended.

What to check before you hire

Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself

Electrical work in homes in England & Wales should be done by a registered competent person who can self-certify it meets the Part P safety rules. Check they're on the official register.

Check the electrical register
In England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations. Confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done. It is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
