Contacting Builders..

[Coaster]

I have been going to do some work on the roof, but have discovered a huge job up there involving both the chimney stack and roof for me to do.

I have contacted a builder but haven't heard from them since contacting them 4 days ago. Should I assume they don't want the job and move on to the next builder?

Do a little homework on what’s involved so you don’t get totally “snowed by bull s h ite”. Contact several more (at least 3) & when they come to quote, be very congenial but slip in that they are not alone I appreciate the stack is involved but you may be better contacting bespoke roofing contractors; 4 days is not that long to wait for a quote so give a few more days but do get more quotes.

Always wise to introduce a little competion into the game; give it a couple of days & ring them, dropping a few hints

yep, I didn't let them know anything.. played it subtle. will be still asking friends n relatives who'd recommend others.

2 weeks - that`s what it took for a busy roofer we asked - And I trust him completely - Spent an hour going round looking and advising . I trust him cuz he`s done work for us before - I know about building work , I just can`t do it now
