For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Get a few prices. Try to get recommendations. Dont go for the first price they give you - they will come down possibly to a third of the original price but it might take a few days. Say you dont have time to waste, you want their rock bottom price. If you are a lone female, get a big burly male friend to be there when the rep comes and say he is your partner. Very sexist but it works. No intimidation that way. Dont let them sit down for five hours in your front room. NEVER sign anything the same day unless you are 200% sure about the price. They will phone their manager before the price comes down. When they leave they will phone you from the car or in the morning. (Part two follows)
Part two. If they give you a price you are happy with, tell them you will think about it for a few days. Show them the door. Get them to do a drawing or spec of all the work they are going to do to make it absolutely clear before they start. I cant stress enough, try to get recommended and don't sign anything until you are completely happy with the price and the work they are doing. Have a good gut feeling about the rep. Check them out as much as you can. NEVER give them all the money before they start. They will want 50% so offer them 25% and the rest when they are finished and you are 200% happy. Part Three follows.
