Must admit, I tend to ask the client first as they are the ones I have daily contact with not, some arsewipe agent who'll want to take the credit for any extension.

Occasionally, you know they'd be screwed if you left but it still doesn't sink in that they need to get things sorted.

Never be scared to mention you are asking because other clients have enquired your availability, that usually speeds things along, if they want you that is.
A lot seem to 'assume' your going to stay because your that desperate. I had one client a few years that did just that with another contractor (not me!). This guy was switched on and in the middle of a huge project and the client relied on him totally. They fannyed him about a few times, so one time, even though he warned them, they ignored him and never got the renewal sorted so he walked into another gig somewhere else. I dread to think how money it cost the client in sorting all the hassle out.
Worse thing was they didnt learn from this and continued on same as always with the contractors left....
