Media Reviews
By far the best guide I've read - I now feel armed with enough knowledge to deal with tradesmen and sort the diamonds from the cowboys. * Amazon *
The best wedding present anyone could get! This is no ordinary DIY book. Jeff Howell really knows what he is talking about, and the book is full of inside information from the building industry that I just haven't seen anywhere else. * Amazon *
This should be compulsory reading for all home owners faced with the often difficult task of dealing with tradesmen. * Amazon *
