"A WORD OF ADVICE FROM SMALL COMPANY OWNER"
A review of Bryco Windows by TIM TUDOR - Friday 4th of June 2004
I AM ASTONISHED TO SEE A WEB SITE SET UP LIKE THIS, BUT NOT SURPRISED AS THERE ARE STILL PROBLEMS WITH MOSTLY LARGE COMPANIES BREAKING EVERY RULE IN THE BOOK AND FENSA DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. I AM A SMALL COMPANY BASED IN HASTINGS IN EAST SUSSEX AND RELY TOTALLY ON WORD OF MOUTH TO GET JOBS. I HAVE AN EXCELLENT REPUTATION HAVING NEVER HAD A DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER DUE TO BEING THOROUGH AND HONEST AND I KNOW THERE ARE MANY SOLE TRADERS AND COMPANIES WHO STRIVE TO BE LIKE THIS. THE BEST WAY TO GET THE BEST DEAL FOR YOUR MONEY IS TO TAKE YOUR TIME AND ASK AROUND. GOOD REPUTATION'S TAKES YEARS TO BUILD UP AND ANYONE WITH A GOOD REPUTATION WILL BE A MEMBER OF THE UK TRADE CONFEDERATION AND WILL OFFER INSURANCE BACKED GUARANTEE CERTIFICATES WITH ALL JOBS SOLD AS I DO ANYWAY. THE UK TRADE CONFEDERATION LOOKS AFTER THE CUSTOMER AS WELL AS THE COMPANY AND WILL SORT OUT ANY PROBLEMS THAT MAY OCCUR. MOST GOOD COMPANIES HAVE ACCOUNTS SET UP WITH SUPPLIERS SO SHOULD'NT NEED TO TAKE LARGE DEPOSITS. I MOSTLY ASK FOR NO MORE THAN £50 TO £100 AND GIVE A INDEMNITY DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE WITH ALL DEPOSITS, THIS SECURES THE CUSTOMERS DEPOSIT SHOULD ONE GO OUT OF BUISNESS OR DOES'NT FULFILL THE CONTRACT. THERE ARE STILL MANY GOOD TRADESMAN OUT THERE AWAITING YOUR CALL AND PLEASE DONT GO FOR THE CHEAPEST AS THIS ALWAYS SPELLS TROUBLE IN THE LONG RUN SUCH AS THE COMPANY NOT FULFILLING THE GUARANTEE SHOULD SOMETHING GO WRONG IN THE FUTURE.ALWAYS ASK TO SEE THE SAMPLE OF WINDOW THE COMPANY IS OFFERING, YOU CAN OFTEN SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY. OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS THE DOUBLE GLAZING BUISNESS HAS BOOMED AND WITH IT HAS COME MANY COWBOYS AND UNSKILLED WINDOW FITTERS, BELIEVE ME IVE SEEN IT AND AN AWFULL LOT OF POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS DONT LISTEN TO FRIENDLY ADVICE. THIS IS THE REASON I JOINED UK TRADE CONFEDERATION TO DISTANT MYSELF FROM COWBOY COMPANIES THAT HAVE PROPPED UP ALL OVER THE UK. THE UK TRADE CONFEDERATION HAS ITS OWN WEBSITE FOR ALL TO SEE AND CAN SUPPLY YOU WITH A LOCAL REPUTABLE COMPANY OR SOLE TRADER. SMALL BUISNESS IS GOOD BUISNESS AND LETS KEEP IT THAT WAY. T.K TUDOR HOME IMPROVEMENTS.
