Maybe connected with the rise in unemployment, giving more people who
now can't afford to "get someone in" and/or no have no excuse for not

We recently got a reputable firm in to do a job which would have taken
us weeks to do. They made such a mess of it that we'll never, ever,
employ anyone else again. We're still finding things which need to be
re-done, many weeks afterwards. And that's without their damaging the
structure of a house wall - which we insisted was rebuilt. We didn't
pay the price asked but that's no compensation.
