Frequently Asked Questions
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
Betterthanashed.com are based in York, North Yorkshire.
DO YOU PROVIDE A FREE, NO OBLIGATION QUOTE?
Yes we do.
CAN YOU ADVISE US ON THE BEST MATERIALS TO USE?
At Betterthanashed.com we only use high quality materials, but this doesn't mean you pay high prices for them. With 25 years trade experience we shop around to source all our materials at competitive prices and ensure this is reflected in our quote to you.
We can advise on the best roofing system for your project, be it resin, GRP roofing or rubber roofing, the best cladding, insulation etc.
WHAT'S THE BEST MATERIAL FOR THE OUTSIDE FINISH?
We recomend cladding for the perfect finish. This doesn't weather, doesn't need any maintenance (maybe the odd clean), doesn't fade and comes in a range of traditional and modern colours to suit your outdoor environment. We can provide a full range of samples to choose from for your cladding and flooring options.
DO YOU COVER ALL THE TRADES OR WILL WE NEED TO GET SOMEONE ELSE IN?
We provide full project management - from the groundworks, through to the electrics and plumbing (if required) for your garden room. We can even sort out the wifi for you so you have full connectivity away from the house.
WHAT IF WE JUST WANT CERTAIN STAGES DOING, RATHER THAN A FULL PROJECT?
That's ok, we're happy to price for certain elements if that's what you'd like e.g. groundworks or simply preparing the concrete base. We do recommend full project management for you though as we can't guarantee other tradespeople's work who aren't part of our team.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
As you can imagine this depends on the size of the project. We'll provide you with a clear schedule and we'll always stick as closely as possible to this (weather permitting). You can be assured that once we are commissioned for your project we will be dedicated solely to that project until completion.
DO YOU PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT ONCE OUR GARDEN ROOM IS COMPLETED?
Absolutely - we offer an ongoing maintenance package including PAT testing for all your sockets and appliances, electrical testing and pressure washing / cleaning of your garden room and outside paved area to ensure it's always looking in prime condition.
