We are a small company with a turnover of 拢1m and have worked successfully with small and major contractors. In all cases 100% of funds are released on completion of our works.

The 5% retention is also paid. To cover the retention we provide the client with a performance guarantee for the retention periods. This is a simple document, normally two A4 pages, comes from the bank and costs about 拢500 to set up.

The money is then in our bank account and can only be claimed by the client should we not fulfil our obligation to carry out any repair work which may be required.

This is a simple procedure that is also readily accepted by all parties.

Michael Green, Green Aluminium
