Giving Tip To builders

[twatchops]

What do people normally do?
We've just completed a big extension and remodelling. It went incredibly smoothly. The building company were fantastic. Lots of people involved (about 7 or 8) with 2 head builders.
There have been extras that I know haven't been charged for.
I want to express my gratitude.
I was thinking of £200 to put behind the bar at their xmas do and sending the girls in the office some flowers.
Any thoughts? Anyone done similar? Any other suggestions?
I did buy them all fish and chips once during the build and gave one of them our old fridge.
I can't emphasise enough how fantastic they have been.
I will also obviously send a letter and do positive testimonial.

That's really sweet but personally I wouldn't. No doubt you paid a good about for the job and doing a good review is thanks enough I think. But that's just me!

I work for a builder and we have never had a client do this. You've paid for the job, likely made countless cups of tea and got them fish and chips.

A thank you letter and good review is enough. And recommendations!

We've occasionally had £10-50 tips, but it's the exception. Lovely thought though, and would probably bump you up the queue if you need future work.
