FACT: The OFT estimates there are 9million disputes between home improvers and tradesmen every year thats 25,000 daily.
According to a recent survey, unqualified trades people cause millions of pounds of misery to British homeowners each year as they are forced to shell out to rectify botched jobs. Here’s how you can try to avoid such a situation, including qualified help from tradesmen in the case of home emergencies.
Of all the homeowners who took part in the survey, one in six of them had had work carried out by an improperly trained or unqualified tradesperson and one in five said the job was carried out poorly or incorrectly. Statistics presented in the survey also revealed the huge annual cost of botched jobs in the UK – every year 1.1million homeowners spend £181 million fixing work carried out by trades people without the correct qualifications or training.
The report went on to highlight how the problem was made worse by the fact that around 16% of rogue tradesmen refused to revisit botched jobs and 9% refused to honour their work’s guarantees. As a result, almost half of these homeowners had to hire further help – at extra cost – to correct inadequate work.
So what can homeowners do to rectify this problem?………………..
