Vat on Building work including lofts is to expensive and needs to be cut. By doing this millions of home owners will be able to stay where they are and extend their property. The FMB have put a petition together to try and crack down on cowboy builders on all trades to stop the gangsters doing cash deals with customers and then leaving them half way through a job without finishing it at the agreed the price, walking off the job and having no come back on themselves in court as the customer has avoided the VAT….

The FMB our are focused on lowering the 17.5% vat bracket down to just 5% which sounds like a good saving but with the cost of raw materials going up by upto 40% because of the works being done over the far east, building costs in this country are just spiraling out of control.
