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

"my room is 4mx4m roughly how much to skim it? I know any number you give me will be an approximation."
"Yes thanks when can I book you in to do it?"
"Cash or bank transfer?"

True, but the question might actually need to be "would you fit a vent tile for my extractor?" because the job alone may be too small in the first place, even to offer a finger in the air price.
I also appreciate it's a fucking nightmare getting trades to do anything in the UK at the moment.

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.
