Anyone vaguely good you will need to ring several times over the course of 2-3 weeks, send texts, and also whatsapp. I find that whatsapp often gives a better response than texts; i'm not sure if that's because people don't read their texts or because you can see when someones read a whatsapp? Probably a totally different can of worms.

Once you get a quote, I find generally it's almost as difficult to commit to a date. Some will openly tell you they're too busy and don't know their arse from their elbow whereas others will make up a story like it seems yours has, e.g. covid.

But as tuerto said above I think it's lack of organisation, doing things on a wing and a prayer and I agree i'd rather them just give me a date for 2 months time rather than the runaround...

With regards the insults back and forth there's one on here who I won't mention the name of for fear of another flounce but they get overly and unnecessarily insulted and angry about literally anything.
Yeah, sorry to jump on your thread and take it off at a slight tangent! You've also taken the wind out my sails now with the thought that the Covid thing may be made up . Maybe I should just be upfront with him and tell him 2 months is fine if that's all he can do. Although my plastering will probably have fallen apart by then.
