We have been let down by 5 different builders (including one who never turned up to view the job). All have said when they would come to do the replacing of lintels but never came and never called either. We have chased them up by phone and they promised a new date but, alas, never turned up. We have been trying to find one since February.
Could eather be cowboys or just not interested In the job
works both ways unfortunately, cancelled jobs, timewasters on both sides of the fence , not just builders
Sometimes tradesmen don't turn up could be several things too busy or weather conditions could be bad
This is maybe because it's a small job to a builder but we at Hutchison Groundworks no that it's not small in the customers eyes and we aim to treat every job the same no matter how big or small .
Unfortunately a lot of builders are time wasters..
Hi there sometimes tradesmen believe they don't have enough information or they don't believe the work is serious , try give as much information as you can and you might get better response
Sometimes for small builders it can be a juggling act when busy and without the manpower unfortunately the have to put customers back from time to time
That's the million dollar question which I'm afraid can't be answered there is a lot of work going on at the moment so builders are really busy but it's still foolish to let your customers down as any good business would want customers to come back to them and to be recommended, I would like to just point out I've turned up to do a job and when there was no answer at the door I called the customer only to be told she'd completely forgotten I was booked in and had taken a short break which meant I lost out on two days wages so it does happen to the genuine builders as well.
Or no experience or a small budget for this job.
