Check your insurer's terms and conditions as they may offer you a guarantee if you use their approved trades. On the other hand, I have heard of people who have been very unhappy with the quality of work by approved tradesmen and would have preferred to have their own choice. At least you can then pick someone you know is good. The problem I would have is getting three quotes as good people are so busy it's hard to even get a quote.

I'm not sure I've helped you much . Can you find out who the approved trades are and check their reviews?
