I agree, but I'm beginning to think it's better to get several quotes which assumes some of them won't bother getting back with a quote or even turning up! Look at my stats: three people contacted, one turns up and quotes a ridiculous price, one turns up saying he'll quote no problem but then doesn't get back to me, and the other one doesn't even turn up! I've taken holiday this week to get all this sorted and these people are wasting my valuable timePEDANTICVINDICTIVEMAN said:3 quotes should be enough...
Luckily the chaps who quoted for my kitchen roof are the nicest people you can hope to meet. They turned up at 8:15, worked until gone 6, and cleaned up after themselves! They'll be getting a good tip from me
Also, compare that with the electrician who turned up yesterday, fitted an isolator, meter tails and earth block and strap for £85. Expensive yes, but at least he quoted, turned up, did the job he said he would, etc. and got a 10% tip
