My problem is not knowing what the current rate is. I’m having a lot of work done on the outside of the house at the moment and the quotes varied massively, like 3x in some cases. I used to get maybe 10% - 20%. It’s tough to know who to trust. I’ve just paid, Ł11k for a job where I ended up doing the floor tiling, painting & lighting myself. The bricky told me yesterday that the builder hasn’t paid him the money I paid the builder. My trust is very thin at the moment.
