Contracts and Payments: Ensuring a Secure and Transparent Process with Alan Rampling Extensions
At Alan Rampling Extensions, we believe in clear, fair, and professional agreements that protect both homeowners and our team. Our contracts are designed to provide transparency and peace of mind, ensuring that every stage of your home improvement project runs smoothly. Here’s why having a well-structured contract is essential and how our payment process works to keep everything fair and secure.
Why a Contract is Essential
A contract is more than just a piece of paper – it’s a legal agreement that ensures all aspects of the project are clearly defined and agreed upon. Our contract covers:
✅ Scope of Work – Detailed descriptions of what work will be carried out, including materials, timelines, and specifications.
✅ Costs and Payment Schedule – A breakdown of costs and clear milestones for payments, ensuring transparency and no hidden charges.
✅ Project Timeline – Expected start and completion dates, with allowances for unforeseen circumstances such as weather delays.
✅ Warranties and Guarantees – Assurance that all work is fully insured and guaranteed for your peace of mind.
✅ Health and Safety Compliance – Ensuring that all work complies with UK building regulations and safety standards.
✅ Responsibilities of Both Parties – Clarifies what is expected from both the homeowner and our team to ensure smooth project execution.
✅ Change Orders and Variations – Procedures for handling any requested changes or unexpected modifications during the project.
✅ Dispute Resolution – Outlines steps to resolve any potential issues in a fair and professional manner.
Our Payment Process
We have a structured payment process that ensures fairness and security for both parties. This approach prevents financial risks and keeps the project progressing smoothly.
Payment Schedule
Our standard payment schedule typically follows these key stages:
🔹 Initial Deposit – A percentage of the total project cost is required before work begins to cover planning, materials, and initial labor.
🔹 Stage Payments – Payments are made at key milestones (e.g., after foundational work, roofing, and internal structures are completed). This ensures you only pay for work that has been completed.
🔹 Final Payment – The remaining balance is due upon project completion, once you are satisfied with the work and final inspections have been conducted.
We accept payments via bank transfer and other secure methods to make the process as convenient as possible.

✔ Fully Insured Work – All our projects are covered by comprehensive insurance, protecting against any unexpected circumstances.
