Plumbers, lazy and bone idle! - TilersForums.com

I've recommended two plumbers to a customer and neither has been in contact. Not a massive job but still money to be made. What's the problem? Kind of made me look bad also!

At the moment the demand for plumbers is huge. They are cherry picking the most profitable/ easiest of jobs. A real shame. One of my tiling pals down here has had the same issue. I do all of my own plumbing so luckily have no issues

I have a regular plumber really old school been plumbing all his life and he's 60 now.
We have been working together on projects for over 20 years.......and I'm going to be lost when he retires as I know how unreliable plumbers can be..

Maybe you should post this on the plumbers forum...

It's nothing new. A few years ago my Mum needed new radiators in her house. I knew a plumber, an acquaintance more than a friend, and gave him a call. He lives 10 minutes from my Mums house. He called her once. I jollied him up but he never went. I ended up ordering the rads on the internet and when they had been delivered I flew back and changed them.

Now that's what a good son does!

I also flew back one time to change all the interior doors in her house despite her stepson being a chippy and living 1/2 an hour away but that's another story....
