It's just dire. Everyone we contact is unreliable. Waited for a Polish plumber to come to give a quote- thought we'd give him a chance even though he was new to an advertising site and no reviews. He didn't show. Emailed someone through recommendation of old plumber- took almost 2 weeks to phone us , came out to quote, now over 10 days since he was here, no quote, followed with text message, nothing. He talked timescales when here so WTF?? Also had a builder quote for a job, he seemed nice , interested, good reputation locally, a week gone by and no quote sent by email (yet.)
What is the MATTER with these people? ok they aren't brain surgeons and maybe struggle to run a business because they lack organisational skills but how the heck do they get work when they behave like this? Presumably by charging an arm and leg for the work they do turn up and do. Rant over.
Any tips for pinning these people down?
