Had two other quotes over the weekend. Both guys came round to look at what needed doing. Number one quoted £175.00, number two quoted £125.00. I went with the higher quote of the two as he seemed a little more professional and came armed with photos of other work he has done. They both asked me if I had been given other quotes AFTER they themselves had quoted me. When I told them I had been quoted £350.00 they both remarked along similar lines that it was extortionate and one even mentioned Dick Turpin.
Please note. I didn't go with the cheapest quote, I went with the one that seemed "fair". If "Mr Piss take price" wants to live the life of Riley, he can find somebody else to subsidise it.
Isn't that the case with trade sometimes if they don't want the job they will put in a price they know will get turned down but if someone willing to pay it they then will do it but more worth their while?
Like my 5k downstairs loo guy.. he so didn't want the job but if I had taken up the quote he would have been delighted
