of what the cost will be before the commencement of the work, always check
whether you will be asked to pay a callout charge. Generally, you should avoid
paying money in advance.

Be wary of workmen who call at your house unannounced. If they have
highlighted a potential problem, get 2 or 3 quotes from reputable trades-
people.
