I asked for a visit for a quote for a complete renovation of an ensuite, possibly including a new boiler system. They promised to ring me three times, but it never happened. In my last call, a gentleman called Chris implied that the delays were due to us not accepting a non-competitive quote for a different job years ago. It looks that if you don't go ahead with their quotes, they put you in their "black book." Terrible business etiquette.
Chris was abrupt on the phone. When I said to him, "is the fact that not accepting a previous quote a determinant factor for you not to be willing to provide further quotes for other jobs in the future?" He answered: "We are not interested in your business, thank you," and hung the phone up.
They possibly forgot that I accepted one of their quotes to move one of the radiators in the past.
It is a shame because I believe they are good plumbers, but their approach to customer relationships is wrong. Quotes are just quotes; they should be happy for me to shortlist them. I usually ask for two or three quotes for any substantial job, and it is up to me to decide which one is the best overall for me; the business should understand it.
The fact that annoyed me most is that they cancelled a first visit for the quote (the visit was scheduled at 1700 h, and they only called me minutes before to cancel it), they promised to call me back, and they never did.
SUMMARY: NWR provides quotes to be accepted; otherwise, they cross you off. Also, abruptness on the phone.
