    Same here Daz. It has surprised how quick it went 0 to 100!
    What I'm finding with the customers who I had to put on hold due to lockdown is now they're adding extra rooms because all they've been doing is DIY.

    One customer who I'd quoted a lounge for has now added 3 bedrooms and the bathroom and now wants me to quote for their opticians.

    Is yours more domestic Daz or is the commercial on fire to?

    Got loads coming in. Booked through August. Time for people to wait if they want a good job. Im looking to get my diary booked for as many months as possible. Got to stop squeezing jobs in for people because they all want it doing in 2 weeks time but they seem happy to wait for builders and every other trade month

    Terrible for us.
    Around 90% of our work is gyms, and they have still not been given the green light to re-open. So, there not spending at all.
    If the re-opening goes well, and members return, there saying they will continue expansion & refurb, but I don`t think that won`t kick in for us until October.
    I have had a few commercial jobs, through friends who have shops, and a few small jobs of mine, but very little.
    Ive got loads out to tender, so hopefully the end of the year might be busy.

    Mainly seems to be domestic where they've been stuck inside, staring at the same floor for 3 months and have grown to hate it.

    Went away almost straight after posting. Drove all round France, and down into Italy. So nice to be away from all the bullshit going on here.
    Anyway, got back, and we now have loads on for the next few weeks.
    Not the best prices, and labour only, but good to have some work on again.
