We’ve finally discovered why we’ve had so much trouble trying to get quotes for the work we want done to the house. We had a consultant from Southern Electric Contracting come over to quote on doing the electrics this afternoon, and it turned out to be a much bigger job than we hoped.
Two weeks’ work, and almost £8k. And that’s just for upstairs.
Drat. We can’t take that on right now. Double-drat.
But now we know that the small, independant trades we asked to quote on various things seem to be put off by big jobs. Moving a soil pipe, laying a concrete floor, knocking a wall down, and removing a chimney breast; just a few of the ‘little’ things we wanted done.
Maybe it’s time to rethink our plans.
