Owning your own home

Sorry to say, I'm a little relieved to hear this - Bridge flooring being a bit crap that is; not you having bad work, that's not fair. We almost went with them but we're put off for a few reasons.

Firstly they didn't show up for the survey/measurement appointment, and didnt phone to say they were late or to rearrange; leaving me to chase them up to get someone round.

Then when got our quote with them, it seemed an awful lot, even after they knocked some money off.
We went to another local company (Lambourne carpets, also well reviewed) and their quote was literally half the price for the same product fitted - I had to double check the quote with them twice becuase I was sure they must have missed something!

When I phoned and told Bridge the price difference, they said "I'd snap their hands off at that price". They claimed their quote was so much more expensive becuase they employ their own fitters, but Lambourne said all their fitters have been working for them for 10+ years, and all their reviews specifically mention how pleased people are with their work.

Fingers crossed for you that they get it sorted without a fuss/needless expensive. Time will tell with Lambourne I guess - they're hopefully coming next week to template out job, then fit the following week - we could be in the same boat shortly...

Also: Please remind me tomorrow to message you our roofers details if you still need someone. He was recommend by our plumber - We initially had him in to remove the original vertical flue, do the lead flashing on the new horizontal flue and fix some loose/dropped tile; he was very reasonable on price, did very neat work (inc. some extras small bits for free) and was genuinely very friendly. Then we had him back to cleaned the whole roof/gutters for us, as it had never been done (60+ years of moss). I'll be getting him back again to re-tile the whole upper face of the house later this year, and again for the garages when their flat roofs are up for replacement.
