Usually only January scraping a bit for work round here then it goes mad again, booked up till june n still a couple of jobs on the backburner for after that if i hit a quiet spell...you got yourself a website? Never bothered till this year and had 4 good jobs off it already

Im ticking along nicely however can't seem to get anyone to wait more than 3 weeks. .....everyone seems to want it doing yesterday, I hate turning work away but can't be in two placed at once. ...

Doing ok here too, not booked up as far as I have been in recent months but, still 8 weeks ahead with some nice ones in the pipeline if quotes are accepted. Have 2 full houses for later in the year too, around October time.

Not bothered with a website as of yet
Was thinking about it but not got round to it
I get caught up with being busy then you assume you are going to be ok
Then all of a sudden you have nothing
My phone is still going but it all seems to be broken promises
Had a guy 2 weeks ago offering me a full time job,500m2 the next,bissaza mosaic bathroom and a big wetroom
Still waiting,I won't hold my breath
Can feel my head starting to go down with it,but guess that's the nature of the business
Re the lead times I have never encountered a customer who will wait longer than two weeks

Ticking over nicely at the moment............just waiting for the spanner in the works, which usually means a plumber cocking up, and then I'll be rushing around playing catch up.
