Have to say that's an ell of a price. More or less exact same job we had three quotes as per usual, Wifey being an ex-accountant an all. And the price quoted varied like mad. The cheapest just looked at the job said "It'll take (x Hours) at X amount per hour it'll be £X or £Y if you want us to take the rubbish away." He was honest got the job and did it on time and well.If only!
The others glanced at the job then spent 15 mins umming and Ahing and looking around at the size of the house etc etc.
They had already priced the job in their heads, they were looking to see how wedged-up we were and how much they thought we'd stand for.
As I was throwing one bloke out he instantly started to drop the price.
Sadly this goes on all the time round ere.
