📋 Certifications — What to Check Before Hiring a Handyman

✅ Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Handyman in Clacton On Sea
Before committing to any handyman in Clacton On Sea, ask these questions. A good tradesperson will answer all of them without hesitation:
- Do you carry public liability insurance?
- Do you charge by the hour or per job?
- Is there a minimum call-out charge?
- Can you bring your own tools and materials?
- Do you have a DBS check?
- Can you handle multiple small jobs in one visit?
