Now get another quote and tell them that 'you have a price just under
£1,500,what do you think?'

That paying too little is worse than paying too much, because the job
will have to be done again. So it will cost what you paid for the first
lousy job plus the fee for the decent job.


You are right of course. There is an old saying, "buy cheap, buy
twice". Once again 'Mike' shows his ignorance of business.

With a job like that you need three written quotes stating exactly
what they propose to do, so you can compare not just the price but the
job they will do for the money.
