Key Questions to Ask Before Hiring
Ask about qualifications, experience and whether the contractor is registered and insured. Enquire about guarantees on workmanship and the quality of materials used.
A reputable contractor will be transparent about pricing, timelines and what is included in the quote – from cabling to fixtures and certificates of compliance where applicable.
