Each episode features real conversations with:

Experienced solicitors who understand construction law

Tradespeople who’ve dealt with legal and business issues firsthand

You’ll get straight-talking guidance on issues that affect everyday trade work, such as:

What makes terms and conditions legally enforceable

Why relying on a quote alone can leave you unprotected

Spotting problem clients before you start the job

What to include in a proper construction contract

📢 Why We’re Launching This Podcast

We’ve helped thousands of UK tradespeople since 2008, providing legal documents tailored for the construction industry — not just generic templates.

But we know paperwork isn’t enough on its own.

Real disputes we’ve helped trades solve

Questions we hear every week from plumbers, roofers, electricians, and builders

Our commitment to helping you work smarter, not just harder

Popular Products We Supply to the Construction Industry

Trades across the UK are starting to see the benefits of using written terms when working with residential clients.

More and more UK trades are now using written terms to set clear expectations, avoid disputes, and make sure they get paid without the hassle. It’s a smarter way to work, and it’s becoming the new standard across the industry.

Did you know?

In Australia and the USA, providing written terms before starting residential work is standard practice. The UK is now following suit to reduce disputes and protect businesses—because, unfortunately, handshakes just aren’t enough anymore.
