Being out and about every day I’ve never seen so much building work going on this last year. Id imagine it’s as you say, many people who’d usually spend several thousand on an expensive holiday decided to put the money to good use on their houses. The relaxation of the planning rules has probably helped too. All the builders I talk to say they’ve been stacked out and are fully booked up for some time yet.
A good industry to be in at the moment, as long as you can get what you need to do the job.
There was a woman on radio 2 a while back, she'd put a new roof on her house, she said it wasnt really needing it but she'd saved so much not going on holidays she may as well spend it on something.
