He's having trouble finding a suitable firm up there apparently, the exception being Malton Coachworks, the problem being the £70 ph labour charge which is a factor that Steve, being a good Yorkshireman finds a tad excessive & l can't say l blame him. 
I'd rather get the job done while Steve has the car so if anyone in the area knows of a firm in the general Yorkshire area that they can recommend to carry out the work then can you let me know & l can give him the details so he can check them out. Thanks very much. |
£70 per hour sounds very reasonable if they have a decent standard of welding. People who can weld to a very high standard often charge a lot more than that!
