I did agree to hire George, however he contacted me to let me know that he was having to self isolate for Covid and had to cancel our appointment.
George did contact me afterwards to rearrange but I had to find someone else in the meantime to fix leak due to imminent house move.
Although I was unable to use George on this occasion, I appreciated that he contacted me quickly and tried to rearrange as soon as he was able to. I will contact George again to provide a quote for work needed in my new house.
