Im looking for a floor to be fitted and had a few people come round to give me an estimate. Two of the estimators that came round today I just wouldn't hire! They definitely didn't look professional. The other guy that came along actually was a well spoken man. So Im leaning towards his service but my questions are:
1. how do I enforce the guarantee he offers?
2. How do I verify his work before hiring him?
A guarantee in the form of a receipt and contract is offered but enforcing that in court would be time consuming. He did say he had public liability insurance, but I don't public liability extends to defected workmanship. Also what measures should I take to be sure he isn't a cowboy? References I don't think work because he will choose whom I would contact.[/list]
