Title: Rant 1 - Gardeners
Post by: WPIL on May 31, 2012, 08:48:02 PM
Have a pond which is a bit of an eyesore and being nagged to get rid of it, I am a complete numpty when it comes to these things and would rather pay someone............
Contact 4 Gardeners for quotes - 2 been round to seen it but not heard of since..........2 arrange appointments and then something else comes up that they had forgotten about
Do I have to do everything myself

(This also applies to roofers who never show to repair a leaky roof and people who come round to quote on an extension/kitchen revamp and never provide a quote)

Got a reliable plumber in Watford though if anyone needs!

Applies to all tradesmen.

On the bright side I normally get so xxxxxx off waiting I end up doing it myself and saving a packet!

Had to have a wall skimmed a few months back. Phoned up about 5 plasterers (all based within a few miles), and all of them said it wasnt worth them getting there tools out for less than £100 so wouldnt do it!  When finally got one, the tools turned out to be a bucket and a trowel. These are prob the same blokes who sit moaning in the pub about lack of work available
