Pretty sure that is illegal.  And wrong.. 

wrong probably? illegal I very much doubt it. You can’t be forced to work for anyone or quote or anything else.

i personally have never had any problems with them Pakistanis on the other hand I have had these very problems but would still work for them.

its not a race thing for me to be clear as there is far more white British I’d not want to for either

Deffinatly wrong and illegal 

 

Race discrimination when providing goods, facilities and services

 

It is illegal for anyone providing goods, facilities or services in the UK to discriminate because of race.

 

Someone providing goods, facilities or services must not:

refuse to provide you with goods, facilities or services because of your race provide any of these things on less favourable terms or conditions because of your race

It is illegal to discriminate regardless of how the goods and services are provided or whether you have to pay for them or not.

Not arguing about the law that’s daft. 
I’m too busy, I can’t arrive for 4 months....

the list of reasons you can say no goes on and on.

not saying it’s right it’s just the way it is

I can see that law applying to "Goods & Services" of a static and regular nature, like a shop, or a hairdresser. I think it would be incredibly hard to get a conviction on a roving tradesman though, where each job is different, and warrents a different quote. It's often said on here that if the job looks like a pain in the ass, just quote stupid high. Who's to say that refusing a job, or quoting high has a racist motive, in any given situation? I wonder if any such case has ever been brought and successfully prosecuted? Naturally, if one said to the prospective client "Sorry mate, I don't work for (whatevers)" then it's addmittance of guilt. Is refusing to quote based on address a crime as well? (Halting sites, rough estates?) If the recent political circus has taught us anything, it's that Law is whatever  people with power want it to be, can convince others it is, and how they choose to interpret and apply it. My legal mind is intregued.

       Personally, all the times I've had issues it was always with the Dutch!
