In fact without a call to remind them they probably wouldn't even remember to come HappyDaddy's post is spot on.

Well they have started and are unbelievably quick and skilled so much so that dp was running tound with a pen and paper making a further list for them of all the bits we were going to do ourselves Although they decorate in v short shorts and stink of fahrenheit but I can live with that!

Noddy I am really interested in contact details for them - do they do decorating?

MamaGlamourPuss · 29/09/2006 12:54

lol hunker - when the builder over the road comes home tonight I will rush out and polish him

'taking work from british builders' - God what an offensive attitude!

go for the best ones - judging from the OP it's a bit of a no brainer!

MamaGlamourPuss · 29/09/2006 12:59

I don't think it is an offensive attitude - aren't well all encouraged to buy from british farmers? I certainly don't think noddy was being offensive.

I agree with the posts about the brit builders though, tehre is plenty of work and they might be encouraged to pull their fingers out and get some work done!

I would just choose who I think would do the best job irrespective of where they come from. I have had a Polish person do a job in the kitchen (excellent) a british person do a floor job (excellent), an Irish person also do a floor job (excellent), a British person do a garden job (Crap), a british plumber who trained in Germany (Excellent) and I will continue in this way.

I get three quotes and I make a judgement based on price and their portfolio if they have one and even better a recomendation.

noddyholder · 29/09/2006 15:50

I agree drosophila I have had all kinds good and bad but the attitude of these guys is unbelievable compared to the norm!

can anybody tell me how you find polish builders? I have been given extortionate prices from british builders, and frankly I am fed up with it.

For electric, gas or plumbing I'd use someone who's work is then certified to show the work is done to a specific standard.
Most other things I wouldn't mind really.

noddyholder · 29/09/2006 17:04

They don't do electrics but do plumbing but not gas so are above board.Look on Gumtree and then ask for references HTH

And if u think this way, we Polish pay taxes from which also going many benefits to British, so don't be rude and racist.
