Certass – We’re always here to help

Consumer complaints can be the bane of every contractor’s life. Every company at some time will get a complaint from a consumer, some are justified some are not. It is said that the true picture of how good a company is can be measured by how well they deal with their consumers when it all goes wrong! So, what is a complaint? Simply put, it is a statement or record of dissatisfaction. As you can see from this statement this can be very subjective because what is unsatisfactory to one person may not be to another. When complaints eventually get […]

Glazing Clippings and Musings by Helen Duval – January 2017

All eyes seem to be on the building and construction sectors right now, all looking for positive indications. When it comes to Brexit, it is anticipated that Theresa May will focus on creating “common goals” in the face of a ‘hard exit’ that look to protect and enhance workers rights, but quite how this will affect the skills shortage remains to be seen. For the housing market things have been boding well with a surge in the number of first time buyers during 2016. Although the average deposit for first-time homebuyers has doubled since 2007 and prices for the sector […]

Locksmith – Clippings and Musings – January 2017

As 2017 begins with many making fresh starts on diets and health regimes, some are still counting the cost of Christmas and the festive season from 2016. Christmas is often a golden opportunity for for burglars to take advantage of slack home security and a supply of brand new goods that have been bought over the season, which insurance companies keenly understand. Although thieves will have probably taken a break on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve is regarded by many insurance companies as the season’s worst day for burglaries. With homes 22% more likely to be broken […]
