*Belle* Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Walls knocked down, rsj installed (is building inspector aware and beam calculations done?), whole house skimmed. This whole job for £600? What could possibly go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 cant believe my mate has actually started this job today and will not be paid till the job is done and to the womans satisfaction . the customer is also of an ehnic minority and was wondering if that's why the price is so low He must be desperate for work if he's doing this...

TJC1 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 half of the quotes I got for a job were from unemployed chancers. who knows if they have the ability or not? its not always best to go with the lowest quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricgem2002 Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Ah, that says it all. It's something he does on the side. Will the woman get a receipt? Is he insured? what says it all ? is the price about right because he works on the side ? is the price about right because(the taxman wont see any of the money)? the woman has asked him for a receipt when the job is done (but for a overinflated price of £2500) god the cheek of some people eh:roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 more supply than demand? Supposedly not the case for skilled craftsmen at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
