It maybe just my area but there seems to be a big shortage of anyone willing to do smaller house maintenance jobs.
Last April we noticed a badly cracked and leaking gutter, we contacted someone local who had done some roofing work for us. He said yes he would replace the gutter but we may have to wait for the job to be slotted between bigger jobs.
Fast forward to the end of September, no contact so we rang and left messages even wrote to his address still no contact.
Since then we have tried several firms who advertise that they do this kind of work, left messages ,filled in e mail enquiry forms etc. We have had only one reply to tell us they are tied up with a big contract for several months.
The wall is turning green, damp will be getting inside and there is no way forward that I can see.
Is it just that the job is too small or is everyone really so very busy they don't even have the time to reply.
