At ServiceBase we are very positive about the New Year. We’ve had lots of enquiries about extensions and loft conversions.  We are continuing to promote the Clwyd chapter of BNI which has proved invaluable in sourcing new business.

 

As well as general building and refurbishment work we will be focusing on Kitchens and Bathrooms this year.

 

All the very best for 2012

It’s been a busy few months at ServiceBase. We’ve joined the National Federation of Builders which cements our reputation for being a competent, ethical contractor.

 

 We’ve provided plenty of estimates for building work in Rhyl and loft conversions in Llandudno.

We’ve been helping to keep the rented properties in Rhyl in top shape and are very excited about prospects for next year.

 

We are here to help with free advice on all aspects of building and joinery work.

 

We are also supporting the CUT THE VAT campaign for domestic building works. Have a look and see what you think http://www.cutthevat.co.uk/cut-the-vat/why-reduce-vat/

 

Tory MP Brian Binley has called on the government to cut the rate of VAT applied to domestic refurbishment work.
 
Speaking at a National Federation of Builders (NFB) fringe event at the Conservative conference, Mr Binley talked of the need to look at the demand side of the economy. “We need to look at how we create demand and saying that any form of demand stimulus will add to debt is too crude a viewpoint” he said.
 
Stating that the NFB was “absolutely right” to be talking about reducing VAT on refurbishment, he added: “This doesn’t have to mean more government borrowing. In fact, it could make the Treasury money. And I think this is something which would be iconic. Housing is iconic to the country.”
 
The call to look at a reduced rate of VAT on home improvements, repair and maintenance work, a measure allowed for under EU rules, was backed up by two other Conservative MPs, Peter Aldous and Anne Marie Morris, both speaking at the same event. The measure appears to have significant cross-party support, as the shadow chancellor Ed Balls has called for the government to do the same.
 
Mr Aldous made the point that the full rate of VAT applied to most renovation and repair work sits perversely alongside the zero rate on new build, and can act to fuel the black economy. "This is something the chancellor really needs to look at in his autumn statement" he said.
 
Taking up the theme of construction SMEs, Aldous, the MP for Waveney, cited the example of some schools being built in his constituency, where the local authority had chosen not to award any of the contracts to builders from the local area, saying “There has got to be some give and take on the part of LAs on this."
 
Mr Binley, also spoke in strong terms about the common failure of local authorities to support their local construction industry.
“Let’s be frank, the treatment of SMEs in local authority procurement is often appalling. And that is true of Tory councils as much as Lib Dem and Labour, let's be honest about it. Government has to have the courage to look at this. If you want to help local businesses, you have to tackle this issue.”
Julia Evans, chief executive of the National Federation of Builders, seized on the same theme, telling local authorities that: "SME builders, who have played a vital role in their local economies for years are now struggling to win contracts from local authorities.”
 
"And it is not because they are all of a sudden not good enough.  It is because your processes are squeezine therm out."  Ms Evans urged local authorities to  
"put this right and make a difference."

Cut the VAT campaign

The NFB fully supports the Cut the VAT Campaign, which argues that VAT on all home repair, maintenance and improvement work should be reduced from 20% to 5%. Independent research shows that this particular change to VAT rates would bring about a number of significant advantages, which include stimulating economic growth, creating tens of thousands of jobs, improving the UK’s housing stock, encouraging spending on energy efficient home improvements and a dramatic reduction in the competitive advantage of cowboy builders.
