Well 1st "lead" comes in this morning.
£12.50 plus VAT to bid on a DPC.
Plaster around first floor of Terrence house 1 m up from floor level damp proofing an skimming to ceiling
Ill give that a miss
Done loads of these over the years , ill know exactly the type of house and will no doubt be a family living in it. Nevermind all the pitfalls of working with DPC work, has to be done right or not at all.
Be some variation on prices No point in even bidding so thats a poor start.

John as a bit of advice for my builder...initial contact is free so try and always give dates your available and on smaller jobs a round about price saying you'll confirm on an in person quote if shortlisted......thatbway if they want it done yesterday for £70 you're out the running and dont get shortlisted and it doesnt cost you anything

Yes you get to send a message and only pay if they shortlist...with a bit of relevant info at least you know your singing of the same hymn sheet and have a fair shot at the job....wont lie you do get the odd tyre kicker but thats just life I think....good luck with whatever you do.....think cornelius mentioned it but I had a few calls from cards on noticeboards at co op etc....and doesnt cost a penny
the photo did look like fibre finger / warty
It is him and it is my job lol
Yeh I thought the same, let's hope his plastering has coz he is teaching it now lolWell his lingo has came on treat.. Thats for sure...bread and butter and all that.
