So it looks like I am running out of options for deciding on a contractor to do our double storey house extension.
I've run into so many dead ends when getting people to quote, even from companies recommend by friends.
We are still waiting for quotes from 2 companies, one came out to assess the property at the end of May. I know everyone is really busy right now but it's been almost 10 weeks now, it feels like they aren't interested in the job anymore.
So I'm beginning to wonder where else I can look to get a quote and schedule someone to begin work, I can only think of checkatrade? But with such a big project I need someone with a reliable track record, and not sure if 20 reviews on checkatrade would be sufficient.
So far I'm 9 months in to exploring potential extension opportunities and so far all I have is an initial set of architect plans, this is such a long process!!
