Default Any builders in Lincs area want to quote me happy?

Looking into the possibility of extending the house upstairs and getting quotes is non-existent round here
I have drawn a sketch of how the finished job will look and have a list of requirements and a drawing with measurements for the whole thing. All that's required is a quote for materials and labour to build the extension (once permissions are granted and proper plans are drawn up at a later date - reason being if the extension will be too much then getting planning & permission is a waste of cash).

*So far I have had ONE full quote back, including everything needed from start to finish.
*I have also received one part-quote - the actual build and plumbing side. I'm still waiting for the roofer and electrician to turn up from February!
*Another guy turned up in Feb and said he'd drop a quote off the following week...guess what. Nothing.
*I've also phoned 6 or 7 other local builders to come round for a look prior to me going away again in Feb and none of them have bothered.
One guy even said he'd be round the day after, then rang 3 days later late on the Fri night to see if he could pop round on the Saturday. Then never bothered to come round!

Now I could understand it if I wanted a job finishing off and they'd been paid and giving me the run-around, but I'm not. I'm after paying them a fair old wedge for an extension. It's like people don't want any money!!

So, any PF builders after a short-term job building a 2nd floor extension with loft space enhancement ??
