Imagine it’s a pot hole on the road, do you think the council would let someone with their wheel barrow and bag of tar fill them up?
It’s someone else’s work, you have been told this. I’d imagine they have prioritised their jobs and the ones you are seeing are further down the list.
It’s a bit like turning up at your mates house un announced when you know there’s a party and you are not invited.

Not the best example to use:

I get your point, yes it is someone else's job but they are not doing it. And the longer they keep pushing it further down the line.....none of us here agree with poaching other peoples customers, but if I got offered a job based on doing it asap but didn't turn up for three months I couldn't complain if the customer got fed up waiting and gave it to another contractor.

That’s up to the client to decide though surely?
If they decide they don’t won’t to wait they will call someone else in to do the work.
