Is our trade about to go extinct? Or is this just a London thing?
Bread and butter jobs, simple rekeys, doors pulled shut, basic PVC door repairs, whichever segment in the bread and butter jobs you look at: Trade seems to be way, way down. Down 35-40 percent, the way I calculate it.
And what remains in terms of jobs is the result of arduous haggling over cost and arrival delay of the operative.
The only thing that's holding up is the big ticket segment, as I would call jobs in excess of £1000 (about £1800). There are more of them about, but then they are few and far between anyway (for us at least).
Sorry to whinge chaps, or is it perhaps just me, and all others are having a field day, day after day? Or is it just Easter?
Cheerio,
