Fuming with job robbing plumbers

[cam_low]

I've filled his slot now so happier days. I've told him its not just for water resisting, he needs the boards for the weight! Told him to watch out for dot n dabbing tiles. If anything I'm gonna make him graft for his rock bottom price !!!!

You can only hope that this muppet of a plumber makes a complete ar55e of it.......then you can go around and laugh as you walk away.

Always makes me wonder if there is some sort of recourse through contract law if they have already agreed to your doing th job and thn reneging.....

take a deposit for every single job it stops them behaving like this

Kilty , how do deal with that , do you ask for percentage ??

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Unless there were materials involved I wouldn't bother.
Next time you reply to a disgruntled customer on here lamblasting a tiler for dot and dab or anything else, remember they chose the fixer and most of them deserve what they get!

It's the only way, I took a 5k deposit cheque the other week and I don't order any materials until it's cleared. No way am I getting caught out on materials or losing the job.

It's shows commitment from the customer to you and with any deposit it's highly unlikely they will will go elsewhere!!!

I'm not sure whether a text can be treated as a contract like a signed order but I'm sure it would be very close to being one.

As they say, the spoken word flies, the written word remains!!
