    I will chip in with something I’ve realised over the past 2 years of doing most work ourselves with getting tradespeople in from time to time with specific skillsets – of course there are the scammers and people who do crap work, but there is also a group of good builders/tradies that have delays but who are worth the wait because the result will be worth it. I don’t know if you know their previous work and thus hired them?

    We have a plasterer we are happy to wait for (even with delays), as his results will be perfect, similarly just having a worktop installer in (with 2 week delay), who is doing an amazing job, but got delayed on previous jobs. I hope this helps a little? X
