"No written quote, or break down of labour materials and vat. Verbal quote was given. Invoice also did not show break down, just total cost."

Business Reply:

When mrs W sent the cheque to me she sent a lovely letter thanking me for working so efficiently & for being so helpful.
I don't understand why she has given me such a negative report!?
I only give a writtern quote if requested & the cost of materials & my labour is my business!
