  • I think a plasterer would tell me to jog on anyways as it'd be hardly worth there time.
    I asked a roofer who was working on the house next door all week to quote me to fit a vent tile for my new extractor (something I reckon would take an hour max) and he said it wasn't worth his time to even quote me.

    I look forward to my roofing DIY..

  • He perhaps doesn’t want to sink time into quoting to compete for a tiny job not worth much money (compared to doing a whole roof etc).

    I understand why people want quotes, but I think the culture of wanting multiple quotes for every job has driven a lot of tradespeople away from even wanting to offer them.

  • How else do you go about it if not “how much will this cost?” I doubt Pmc was expecting a full breakdown of labour and material
