Quotes For Works

I helped my neighbour get quotes for work she wants doing.  I have been there during two visits, the third and final one tomorrow.

The first was for £1400 inc VAT; the second £450 plus VAT.  A ridiculous difference in prices.  Both are insured, well established, seem decent. 
Now she is thinking one is ripping her off; the other not up to the job.

It will be interesting to see what sort of quote she gets tomorrow.

Have you had such varying quotes? I've told her to keep an open mind until tomorrow but she is fretting

Yes, some builders who are snowed under with work will quote a very inflated price because they don’t need the work – if they get it, all well and good (for them).

Don't know why he pitched for the work if that's the case.  He knew exactly what was involved before he contacted me.

Accept a quote or don't, it's not difficult.

That hasn't answered the question, douglas, but thanks for your input
