Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Material Costs Are Rising...
Q: If you could fix something at one price forever, what would it be?
Beads (and arch beads) because their prices have surged and repeatedly changing costs complicate budgeting and quoting for clients.
Material Costs Are Rising...
Q: What outside of materials is also costing you a lot more these days?
Fuel, VAT, insurance, and general overheads have all increased, squeezing cash flow and making pricing and profit retention more challenging.
Material Costs Are Rising...
Q: How are you finding the cost of materials this year, Steph?
Astronomical, with prices rising across the board. Hidden costs like PVA and delivery fees are eating into margins, and we're having to charge more per room to keep profits intact.
Is The Repairs Market Failing The Industry?
Q: What licensing proposal is being discussed to address this issue?
A licensing authority attached to a government department with scheme operators (including existing bodies like the Federation of Master Builders) that would certify building companies and provide consumer redress when problems arise.
Is The Repairs Market Failing The Industry?
Q: What is the core problem in the home repairs market according to the discussion?
The core problem is a lack of trust in tradespeople, highlighted by the high costs paid to rogue traders and a large portion of homeowners delaying or avoiding repairs due to fear of finding unreliable builders.
