willman Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I've recently had some roofing work done and the guy has only been getting 1 to 2 days work a week since before Christmas.Work he had lined up has been cancelled as people are prolonging lots of stuff at the moment. So it looks like its been bad for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul12345678 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think it swings and roundabouts mate we are too busy its going to another very late one tonight and we have enough till the end of march. Its not just us either I've got to book plasterers weeks in advance and i have needed a roofer for the last three weeks but the good ones i know booked up. Things will turn around for you i have had droughts on many occasions. Chin up Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
