thanks Andy. The guys are already doing our conservatory and patio and have been really good. They are a bit pricey though. I just wanted to see if I am being overcharged by a big margin. He said that cost of materials like decking, lawn, fascia stuff, decorative gravel, stones etc...

Job involves Is £4000 reasonable, we are in North West. Decking area roughly around 7m x 3m Lawn area around 5m x 3m with rocky steps to deck Borders with gravel etc. as shown Softfit fascia and gutting to the back of my 3 bed semi only [about 5.5m in width] Ground has already...

Hi Guys, We are getting a conservatory done and the guy suggested we get fascia and soffit changed at the back as well as once the conny is up, access will be an issue. By the looks of it does need changing but I would rather do it later if I could. Is having a conny that big an issue...

I am in the same boat.

No no just cooker extractor. Had two more quotes 12400, 12800, beginning to see a pattern here. Coral is still the cheapest.

Kitchen exhaust need redirecting and there is a bit of a slope so it needs digging and levelling but thats it really. ote]

Coral is local to me and so far been cheapest. Have had windows and doors from them and been satisfied. We liked what we saw in their show room as well. Just making sure we are not getting mugged.

Hi Guys We have been quoted 12800 for a 3x4.2m edwardian with all glass roof from a big local company. They called again and reduced it to 12000 all inclusive electrics etc. in the mean time I had two local guys in and they both quoted around 12500. Is this reasonable. One company from...

If its kicking the dust out as much as that, there's a rubber gasket dislodged or missing somewhere, I guess. John :) Good point, I don't think I saw any gasket, will check again. thanks

Only used today for first time. Noise didn't bother me that much and it didn't seem any better or worse than my old hoover. But boy did it clean, and was so easy to manoeuvre. And yes it does feel a bit fragile especially when you want to take the hose thing out. I am afraid we are going to...

Thanks but no. It is more like a thick pad so could be third one down. I am jusy trying to figure out the right term. We ended up spending 250 on a dyson today and I am thinking ifI can fix it can used as a spare or sold on ebay.

I have a Hoover Whirlwind vacuum cleaner and recently it has started to blow dust out every time it is being used. The dust seem to come out from a vent just above the motor. If I use hose, it is fine and doesn't leak dust. The case comes out and there seems to be an air filter which feels...

I visited the shop and met manager Dave, seem like a nice but overly stressed fella. I explained my complaints and he said he will look in to it and asked if I am happy to split the difference. So paid him £35 and called it a day. Thanks for the advice folks.

Valid points. If they are not charging me for the extra carpet they can keep it but the way they have handled the whole thing has upset me so I want to hear this from the same guy who first came to do the measurements and gave us the first quote. Supposedly he is the owner and I was warned not...

Cajar, you post has given me confidence. I am not so good with face to face confrontations but I will stand my ground.

On the plus size, carpet looks quite alright and Mrs. is pleased. :lol:

I couldn't close the bathroom door and after breaking a tile trying to hammer the door strip in I realised that they were so lazy that they left the door strip a few mm too long and just hammered it in leaving a very small bulge stopping the door to close. I will try that forum and also see...

Thanks and see pictures, you will see the red linings matching, imagine them few inches out half way through. The guys actually said that I should have put it down in writing that I wanted the pattern matching. I am surprised that anyone would want it other way. I went to see the guy this...
