View service Why Surefoot ## The Standard You Would Expect If It Were Our Own Home Brickwork is unforgiving. Set the footings out wrong and every course above it carries the error for the life of the building. That is why Michael Kirkbride runs Surefoot the way he does: qualified people, correct sequencing, and a written guarantee behind the finished work. - ### Qualified, not just experienced CSCS carded, SSSTS site supervisor trained, NVQ Level 6 and NHBC Masterclass. The accreditations that main contractors ask for, held as standard. - ### Insured to commercial levels £2,000,000 public liability and £10,000,000 employers' liability, so a domestic extension carries the same protection as a site job. - ### Priced to your project, not a price list Every quote is tailored to the actual scope. No padded standard rates, no surprise variations invented halfway through. - ### Staged payments, not one big cheque Payment is broken into stages you can see on site: deposit, DPC level, joist level, roof level, and the balance on completion. You pay as the work goes in. - ### Contracted and signed off Every job is covered by a written contract that protects both parties, and the work is taken through to full sign-off with building control. - ### Guaranteed after we leave A 2-year workmanship guarantee on every project, with a 10-year warranty available on request. ### Accreditations Held - CSCS Card - SSSTS - NVQ Level 6 - NHBC Masterclass ### Staged Payments - 1DepositAgreed deposit before work begins to secure the slot and materials. - 2DPC levelPayable once the substructure is up to damp proof course level. - 3Joist levelPayable once the walls are built up to joist level. - 4Roof levelPayable once the structure is up to roof level. - 5CompletionFinal balance on completion, after the handover inspection.Written contract on every job, and full sign-off with building control.
