Are groundworkers required to have insurance?

Groundworkers are not legally required to have insurance, but it’s highly recommended. Most groundworkers near you will hold public liability insurance to protect against damage to property or injury caused during the job. Always ask for proof of insurance before hiring.

Do groundworkers offer guarantees on their work?

Yes, many groundworkers near you will provide a guarantee on their work. This typically lasts from a few months to several years, depending on the project. Make sure you understand what’s covered, such as defects or issues due to poor workmanship.

What should I ask a groundworker before hiring them?

Before hiring a groundworker near you, ask about their insurance, previous projects, and approach to site preparation. Discuss timelines, costs, and payment terms, and request references or examples of similar work.

How much deposit should I pay a groundworker?

It’s normal to pay around **10% to 20%** of the total cost upfront, but always agree on this in writing before work begins. Avoid paying large deposits and ensure there’s a clear contract outlining expectations.

How can I check if a groundworker near me is a good fit?

Start by reviewing their MyBuilder profile, where you can see photos of past jobs, customer feedback, and business details. It’s also worth meeting them in person to discuss the project and see how they plan to approach your site.

I wanted to replace an old brick wall in my front garden with railway sleepers. I had some idea on how I wanted it to look, but I was very undecided: vertical, horizontal, staggered or squared?. When James came around he made clear suggestions on how make it look nice, simple and within budget. He explained to me what the work involved and showed me some pictures of a previous job he had done so I had a clearer idea. I had to go out the day he came to do the job but he made sure we both were on the same page and he would meet my expectations, and I wasn't disappointed when I came back home. I contacted him afterwards to check details about the look and maintenance of the sleepers and he always replied promptly. I would definitively recommend James.
