Trusted Kitchen Fitters For Reigate
According to new research shared by LBC, so-called “cowboy builders” have cost British homeowners an eye-watering £14.3 billion over the past five years.
The figures, revealed by the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), paint a worrying picture of an industry where too many people are left high and dry after putting their trust (and savings) into the wrong hands.
The report found that:
37% of adults have hired an unreliable or unqualified builder
35% were hit with unexpected extra costs
16% gave up on projects entirely
And 1 in 5 saw their jobs left unfinished
As FMB Chief Brian explains, the problem stems from the fact that “anyone can set themselves up as a builder, regardless of their experience or qualifications.”
When you’re investing in something as significant as a new kitchen, those statistics are enough to make anyone nervous.
Which is exactly why choosing a company like Paragon Designs makes all the difference.
