Beanzy is in Bodmin - not too far to Truro, and if he travels at night no problem with the jams on the A30 at Indian Queens.... 8).

But he should know about local rates.

Just saw this one.

Will contact direct to get details. Truro's about 20-25min. Nice of you to remember BAS :)

Cost depends on structure type & size as much as anything and how 1st & 2nd fix are organised. Have had some that were self-builds in stages so were many re-visits to tie-in with the other trades.

Just a wee update. Came back from hols a couple of weeks back & tried tel number but no prefix, so had a couple of shots at it using prefixes from tel book, but no joy. Unfortunately don't think e-mail address working in uk?

SS. Did you manage to sort him something. I'm feeling guilty as seems like I've not bothered but can't establish contact.
