Protect Your Home & Your Money From Cowboy Builders.
Be cautious of builders who demand large deposits, promise quick jobs for cash, or offer to reduce costs for cash payments. If you’re wondering, “how do I protect myself from a rogue builder?”, the first step is to carry out proper checks and put every agreement in writing.
Our service offers the protection and guidance you need to reduce these risks. With our legally compliant agreements for England and Northern Ireland, you can clearly define your project’s scope, timelines, and budget-helping ensure accountability and prevent costly mistakes.

Worth every penny.
Having suffered a huge loss to a crap "builder" it was a good to find Cavass. Worth every penny just for the security and peace of mind.
Thank you Cavass
Thank you Cavass, after the cowboys, it was a relief to find your reliable services. Stress free repairs, can't recommend enough.
Cheapest isn’t always the best
Cavass provided a simple and effective service. I needed to have a chimney removed and was tempted to go with the cheapest quote, but after carrying out checks on the builders I'm glad I went with a more reputable firm instead. It's true, ultimately, you get what you pay for.
