Don't know why I ever agreed to move, I think I probably nodded my head at the wrong time or something but anyway that's what's happening now.
So far a few issues cropped up as they generally do, original buyer pulled out, accountants dragging their feet the normal stuff however I never thought for one minute I'd be having issues in simply obtaining a quote for some repairs. The guy had a full survey done and it's highlighted a few issues. Firstly the garage roof needs repairing as the rear end leaks slightly and they've picked up that the pointing on the end wall of the house isn't great and "possibly" letting in moisture inside the house although we have no damp.
That was 10 days ago and despite numerous calls to locals builders, maintenance and odd job men they've all being fricking terrible. First guy couldn't come out to quote until mid December despite living in the same street. Second guy came out and quoted £2500 to replace the whole garage roof without even jumping up and taking a look. Wasn't interested in repairing and said it's something they don't do....ok bye then.
Next roofer said that it could be repaired but they don't do it!! I asked why as clearly he's a flat roofer and the roof is flat to be told they don't use that system!! You need somone that uses the old stuff?? T**T!
Im waiting for about another 5 to ring me back from multiple messages I've left.
One guy was to come over Sunday despite me telling him it wasn't nesseccary and I didnt expect him to do that. Said he didn't mind as he was over our way anyway, gave him address- he didn't turn up.
Left it until today to make contact. Said he'd been in a meeting all morning, I rang him at 8 am! where he said he'd be over at 6 tonight.....I'm still waiting.
Another chap said he would come out yesterday evening at 5:30- he rang and said he was running late and he'd come round at 7. When I asked him if he had a torch he asked why!! It's dark now at 6:30 so how will you see what's needed......silence FFS, I'm still waiting for him to call me back.

Now I'm sorry if we have any builders in the house, but really. I want a quote and then the repairs doing but so far it's taken 10 days to get neither. Why is this so fecking hard?
