Contracting works run to a programme you can see.

Clipper Contractor Group in Loughborough: refurbishment, maintenance and small works coordinated with priced variations and a documented handover.

A tidy finished result

Snagging closed out

A job is only complete when the snag list is empty and the certificates are filed. Send a photograph and a note of the works and we will say what a quotation needs.

Clipper Contractor Group works from Fennel Street in Loughborough on refurbishments, maintenance and small works across the East Midlands. Jobs are programmed with dates agreed in writing, trades are booked to follow each other rather than overlap, and variations are priced before anyone proceeds. At the end of a job the snag list is closed out and certificates are filed, so the paperwork is finished when the work is.

Clipper Contractor services

Three jobs arrive most often: a refurbishment to run, maintenance to keep on top of, or works to coordinate between trades.

01

Refurbishment

For Refurbishment the scope is programming the works, booking trades, closing out snags; anything else is agreed in writing.

02

Maintenance

Maintenance: scheduling visits, carrying out repairs, recording what was done; the scope excludes work on live services we have not isolated.

03

Small works

For Small works the scope is quoting clearly, coordinating trades, handover documentation; anything else is agreed in writing.

04

Planning and advice

We talk through what you need, what is realistic and what it costs, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.

How it works

Clipper Contractor, stage by stage, in brief

The same sequence runs on a week's work and a month's work.

  1. Survey

    The space is looked at, access and services confirmed and what is wanted agreed.

  2. Quote

    A written quotation and programme set out the scope, the dates and what is excluded.

  3. Works

    Trades are booked in sequence, with each stage checked before the next starts.

  4. Handover

    Snags are closed out, certificates filed and the site left clean.

Good work is mostly a matter of listening first and measuring twice. If a date is driving the job, put it in the first line.

Working approach — Clipper Contractor

Before you ask

The questions that come up, for most clients

Questions that come up before a quotation is issued.

What do you need to quote?

Access to the space, a note of what is wanted and any drawings or reports that already exist.

Are your timescales fixed?

They are programmes, not promises; if something changes the effect on the dates is stated in writing.

How are variations handled?

Priced before they proceed, so nothing arrives as a surprise at the final account.

Do you take on small jobs?

Yes, and they are run with the same paperwork, just over a shorter programme.
