[QUOTE="Manator, post: 433901, member: 9561"] This is where they came through the other side of the wall!! I would always advise anyone to get at least three quotes for a job. There is a very good long standing argument for this. Firstly two of the quotes will be very close, and inevitably very much higher than the cheapest. The highest quote will often be itemised, and requires no additional costs as the quote has perceived this and given a fair assessment of unforeseen circumstances. However with all the information it is worth talking to the two closest quotes and finding a mutual ground that you can work with. The lowest quote should always be thrown in the bin, they have no conception of business, profit, or even regulation. It is amazing how many people fall for the low quote, but then again we would not have programs like watchdog, cowboy builders and the like without them. [/QUOTE]
