New builder came back with quotes. Significantly cheaper than the last guy who ghosted us (40% cheaper - yet to hear confirmation of VAT, but even if that has yet to be added, still way less). Which is concerning, but he was much more through and the prices seem more considered than the previous finger in the air quotes. Also, they are insisting on doing a full inspection of the exterior render and pointing before quoting for that, which actually makes me feel more comfortable.
Said OK for a number of non-critical interior jobs first to get the feel of them. Waiting to hear when they can start.
