Use KIISTONE approved, not The Chuckle Brothers
Employing cowboy builders is no laughing matter. It causes pain and heartache and leaves you with a financial headache that many people have been unable to recover from.
So it makes sense to take steps to protect your home from the rogue traders and at the same time protect your most expensive investment by taking steps to ensure rogue traders never leave you in debt.
Kiistone is the innovative solution for everyone who is planning to have a new extension or have their home modernised.

AN INTRODUCTION from Tim Mullock THE new Kiistone App has been designed to help tradespeople run their businesses more effectively and put an end to all potential payment disputes.
It was launched in April 2021 and is designed to financially protect both tradespeople and customers, who agree job specifications and budgets via the app. Payment is then protected and held independently by the largest Escrow provider in Europe, until both parties are satisfied that the job has been completed as agreed.
Tim Mullock said: “My experience of being a British tradesperson over the last 20 years has shown me both the good and the not so good that the industry has to offer, and the biggest issue that we’ve still got today is a lack of trust between the customer and the trade. “While it’s undeniable that there are some cowboys out there, professional tradespeople often find themselves tarred with the same brush, which doesn’t make for good customer relationships.”
Tim continued: “On the flipside, tradespeople can experience lack of understanding from customers or unrealistic expectations, which can lead to disputes over final invoices.
“The Kiistone app has been designed to provide a professional solution for both parties, providing absolute clarity to customers at all stages of the project and ensuring fair payment for the job delivered.”

Use KIISTONE, and avoid a disaster like this
Project management: As well as the Escrow solution, the app provides further functions to help tradespeople manage their projects, diary, cashflow, admin and communication.
Tim Mullock noted: “The aim of the app in the long term is to build a community of tradespeople who take pride in their profession and who understand the value for everyone in modernising the industry.
Kiistone’s ultimate goal is to be a gamechanger for the industry, to reinstate pride and quality in British trades, and to represent a new benchmark in professional standards.”

Use KIISTONE, then you’re in safe hands
West Bromwich Albion and England goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has become a shareholder in the Kiistone app. Preston-born Johnstone was one of the first users of the app, having been asked to beta-test it during the full refurbishment and extension of his family home. Johnstone said: “When we were planning a major refurbishment of our family home I road tested the app. I don’t know anything about building works, but having the project broken down into stages helped me feel in control of the progress and my budget. “It ended up being a great experience and I feel confident it will be able to help others too, which is why I’m really pleased to have come on board with the company as a shareholder.”

KIISTONE, using experience to mentor youngsters
Kiistone launched a new mentoring programme to encourage young people to consider a trade as a career. The Lancashire company has developed an online portal which enables tradespeople and customers work together more effectively and securely. Working with Accrington and Rossendale College, the Kiistone programme concentrates on employability skills and the attributes needed to be successful in the trade with founder Tim Mullock using his fist hand experience to demonstrate how the trade can be a lucrative career and one of the most rewarding. There is an emphasis on positioning vocational qualifications in further education as just as valuable as academic equivalents, and demonstrating how B-TECS, NVQs and T-Levels can provide just as successful a career path and future, than the more traditional academic ALevel route.
