Description
📄 What contractors won’t tell you — and how not to pay for their mistakes.
Renovation isn’t “freshening up the walls.” It’s a process where you voluntarily let strangers into your home, pay them the equivalent of a new car, and in return they cover your coffee in dust and tell you the crooked floor is just “the charm of an old building.”
This book won’t teach you how to plaster walls. It will make you the Boss.
What’s inside:
🔹 How to carry out a ruthless technical inspection before you spend a single penny
🔹 The brutal 2026 labour pricing guide — so you’ll know instantly when someone is ripping you off
🔹 The BFW strategy — how to prioritise your budget so safety always comes before aesthetics
🔹 5 red flags that identify a rip-off merchant before they cross your threshold
🔹 The staged payment system — your only real shield against shoddy work
🔹 The sacred sequence of works — break it and you’ll pay twice
🔹 How to carry out a proper handover using raking light, hollow sound tests and flood tests
🔹 The disaster catalogue with real costs — from £8,000 to over £30,000 in avoidable mistakes
🔹 Legal advice for the English-speaking market — contracts, insurance, lien waivers, permits
🔹 The ruthless 120-point handover checklist
👤 Who it’s for: Anyone planning a renovation — house, flat, bathroom, kitchen. Anyone who wants to control every penny and not be taken for a ride by contractors who assume you don’t know any better.
