[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 961549, member: 243342"] Building contractors. Probably one of the worst trades I've had the displeasure of dealing with. Promises of giving quotes are rarely kept and half the time, they don't bother showing up. There are exceptions, of course, but 90% of time, it's missed appointments, substandard work and bad advice :( A sparky was supposed to be here today to wire up our conservatory but noone is here and noone is bothering to tell me what's happening. Basic customer service skills are completely out of the window. I find that the older/retiring generation are much better at this - also helps that they have many real years of experience as opposed to some spotty teenager just starting out and using my house as a training ground.
