My first Boss apron!

[fekarrs]

I called all 11 plumbers in the yellow pages in Leamington and asked for a quote for replacing toothed lead flashing on my roof.

None of them would quote and most said they did not do that work!

I did meet a plumber from nearby at an electronics fair and he said that he did do lead work but I was too far from him ( 20 miles ). I asked him how much he would expect to quote for labour only for one side of a small terraced house and he said "2".

I dont know if he meant £200 or £2000 !

The colleges should come into the present day and teach whats relevant. The last time I saw someones text book it showed a Sine 18 as the example of a combi boiler!

After phoning plumbers 5, 6, or perhaps 7, didn't you catch on?

Try Yellow Pages - ROOFERS

P.S. Plumbers also won't fit windows with putty any more, and they don't travel around with a coil of lead pipe on the handlebars of their bike either! It's not like the good old days any more is it??
