Dnk Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Anyone know any good ones that dont want stupid money that actually turn up and do a good quality job ? Im getting a bit -----off now as im now trying to find one after contacting 3 previously and either getting stupid quotes or no show. The job is in Redditch near Bromsgrove, im paying cash, free tea and biscuits, maybe even bacon sarnies Its not a full drive to do, just some repair work but i'd think easily done in a day The main problem is the man hole as it needs lifting and fitting properly, its been balanced on 4 corners with brick by previous block paver, now the surrounding blocks need lifting and re laying. Also there are individual blocks that have sunk which also need lifting and re laying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsween Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Next time you're out and see council workies out laying a road ask for a homer. Most are pretty decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall exercise my right to remain silent but in all honesty just a bit of sand that fell off the back of their lorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
