A friend of mine is building a 4 x 3 Keter shed for me on the 8th August. That's the deadline date because he's from Glasgow so I don't see him all that often. The only other person who could do it for me recently lost his dad so I can't really drag him into this.
I'm after a landscaper to lay down the shed foundation, either in concrete or as slabs. I've been looking for someone since late June (so allowing 6 weeks). I've tried the following:
1. posted on my work's intranet noticeboard. Someone recommended a local builder who does patios. I phoned, was told to gave my details by text which I did but no response back. I chased and still never heard back.
2. tried a local company called the Eden Company. They said they're fully booked until October. Like really?
3. tried another local called J and J Property Maintenance. Sounded quite professional over the phone, again told to text them the details on the job. Again, not a sniff after that.
4. tried 2 more independents, same happened.
5. tried Rated People, got no responses.
6. tried My Builder, got no responses.
7. now I'm posting on a computer forum
What must I do to I get someone to install a bloody 4 x 3 shed base?!
Just compare to this as a comparison: I managed to book in 3 plumbers from a local firm to replace my hot water cylinder (as an emergency), install a new pump off it, run pipes over my attic leading into my bathroom to a new power shower which they also installed, then they also installed 2 new radiators and took the old ones away. Surely this is a much bigger job than a shed foundation and it was booked and carried out no probs.
