Has it improved over time?

Justice league, can I ask why you’re curious about this? A recent question you asked, was about is it normal to leave a customer hanging regards quoting for a new boiler in a new location.
You’re not from a surveying/ data company are you?

atm around 50% somtimes 40%
same as us then got told too expensive for a kitchen tap at £200 total includes a bristan tap coming out at just over the £100 mark
Hardly quote at all , mostly estimate .
I’ve had the same. But to be fair the kitchen is coming out soon.
No I am just a normal customer / consumer. My initial question was why would a tradesman take the time to come out to quote for work and then not quote - not happened to me before.
Which then lead me onto this question which I thought was interesting.

I would be concerned if my rate were that high Riley. That should only happen if you are far too cheap, you live on a remote island where you are the only choice or the others are Sweeny Todd Plumbing ... 😉

Estimate then add a load of extra on top for unseen problems. I like it
I think that would lead to upset customers who dont know the difference between a quote and estimate.
How do you know you are not the cheapest? Have they actually said that.

There is something "not right" about this thread and @Justice League as said before it could be a survey type thing, just don`t understand why they keep asking these questions and their reasons don`t stack up.

Just joshing. I believe it's referred to as 'banter' (or bantz for the diklexik) by those under 63 years of age 😀
Im guessing as i dont actually know the plumber in question nor the job....
But I'd imagine all the possible reasons boil down to the fact the plumber doesn't like you
We have a choice in life as well, no matter how needy for work we may be.
Don't worry though, plenty more plumbers out there.
Be nice and you'll score

I would love to have a quote, estimate or just someone to do the f*ing job.
Had 3 out to look at the job so far not one bothered to get to me.
I can seem why BG do so well.
Furious, would never happen on the commercial side, I had 30 odd years would not have lasted six months carrying on like this lot, so unprofessional.
