Just one today so far...!

Now this morning I finally get round to sorting out my renewal.
GoCompare / Moneysupermarket etc... all these price comparison sites - the top 5 or so cheapest results all LOOK great with legal protection, breakdown etc included, but after wasting ages going through everything with them, you then find out that there is a £50 handling fee, and that all the "included" extras are only included if you pay extra
Totally misleading and sneaky!
As I suspected from the start of price comparison sites - they are just a scam for price-fixing by whatever industry takes part.
A couple of hours of my life I will never get back...

Like us issuing a quote, winning a job then before starting work giving a new quote whacked up with all the things we 'forgot' to include!

I think there is already quite a few tradespeople that do operate like that.

Cheap estimate to win the work.

Start the work.

Then the "well that needs primer and levelling, i didn't include prep work in my estimate"

I'm not just tiling - wanted to make sure I was properly covered.
In the end - Direct Line £86 done.

If they accept to insure you as a tiler, I'd happily take it to court. Unreasonable clause in terms and conditions.
