That’s right. The snow may be lying heavily on the ground this year, but the days of warmer Spring are not far away. This is traditionally the season for clearing everything out that you do not want.  Perhaps you should start planning earlier, before all the waste-removal firms are booked out. We offer an exemplary service in this regard. Mr-Skill is able to offer the following range of helpful services when you are in the mood to tidy up.
Waste Management – The professional removal of potentially toxic industrial and commercial waste to Council specifications. Our specialists are equipped with all pre-requisite waste management safety gear and will complete their task responsibly.
Garbage Disposal – Sorting of non-toxic “safe” commercial and domestic garbage into categories, and delivering to re-processing plants and Council garbage disposal tips in accordance with your local bylaws.
Rubbish Removal – Disposal of general “clean” rubbish in an environmentally friendly way according to local regulations. Many town councils award street rubbish removal contracts to our agents.
 Garden Clean-Ups – A broad-based horticultural service. When the snow has melted (and that won’t be too long now) you’ll be glad you booked a garden clean-up and de-weeding service while contractors had room on their calendars still. As with all our contracts, the refuse will be responsibly disposed.
Unlike similar websites we charge consumers nothing extra for our service. In fact the overwhelming feedback is that our contractors charge lower rates. That means you win twice when you contact Mr-Skill. You win the first time because you get a reliable service. The second benefit is it costs you less.
Can you afford not to investigate this further? What’s more, you get your space back too.

It’s tempting, when you get a builder in, to forget about what you agreed to in the original Builders Quote, and to let the job roll into all other kinds of minor detail. The builder will be inclined to be helpful in the beginning. Later though resentment may creep in,  with neither party inclined to broach the subject of a price increase.
At Mr-Skill we cannot emphasise enough that you need to have a budget and a specification behind your budget too. If you fail to do so, then the heat of disagreement could end up cooking up a real storm.
• No London Builder worth his salt will quote for any job without a specification, and in 99% of the time this will include a drawing too. If you are unable to provide at least a hand-drawn sketch with measurements, then with respect perhaps you have not yet decided what you want.
• The next step is to Find a Builder to provide an estimate against your sketch and supporting detail. We use the word estimate deliberately because a building job almost inevitably comes up against unexpected hassles.  When this happens you need to be flexible, because the thick concrete covering the drain is at your home, and not the builder’s after all.
• This is why professional developers and construction companies often add a contingency provision to a job. The percentage value of this varies from job-to-job, and the amount is expensed by mutual agreement as the work proceeds. It simply is not fair to do this any other way – and fair is the little word that makes such a huge difference.
Mr-Skill exists as a free service to UK residents who are hoping to Find a Reputable Builder. Builders pay a highly competitive rate to be listed on our website. Our contribution is to introduce the parties to each other. Shop with us, and enjoy the prospects of a Successful Building Job.

We choose our Builders on Mr-Skill with great care and are proud of the reputation they enjoy. It may however happen from time to time (but thankfully very seldom) that things  do not work out quite as well as everybody hoped. When this happens, we investigate circumstances very carefully to continually improve the quality of our service, and to make sure our customers Find a Builder who suits them.
Almost inevitably we find that the root cause of the problem is a natural misunderstanding that developed between a Builder and their Customer, often as a result of one of the following classic problems:
o The Customer did not explain requirements sufficiently or the Builder did not understand them. In our experience there is only one way to avoid this, and that is a written specification signed off by both parties.
o The job took longer than the Customer expected. There are usually two reasons for this, namely unexpected snags and inclement weather. Unfortunately these are both beyond the control of either party. The best way to avoid a problem escalating is to agree a strategy when negotiating Building Quotes.
o  There is disagreement about the final price charged after the work is completed. Again co-operation is the only way to really avoid conflicts, and that means agreeing all escalations before they apply.
o I may have mentioned the Builder in London I know before, but I must say that I always find his advice well-worthwhile repeating. He reckons that marriages and building contracts have at least one thing in common, and that it to beware of bad body chemistry (but not the way you could be thinking).
He believes that the secret to avoiding building disputes is to avoid doing business with anybody who does not feel quite right as he puts it. When he finds a client with whom he knows he really can work well, he approaches everything thereafter as if they were both business partners and friends.
This is why we always say team up with your builder too, for the simple reason that this really does make the difference.
