F$*€#* landlords

[Leo21]

Why do I bother?

arranged a service on a boiler under warranty, dead easy money. Get a text today (jobs arranger for 9.30 Monday) how much extra for llc, fire and hob. Text back explaining fires are time consuming, remove check flue etc. Quote an extra £50 to £60, phone goes quiet, no texts. Until an hour ago.
"sorry to mess you about, can I cancel tomorrow?"
Shes obviously been shopping about, who answers the phone in a Sunday. Who answers there phone on a Sunday, and under cuts you on a £110 job?

Why do some of us under value ourselves? Let's just say I'm not happy.

Leo , IMO you are "well shut" of customers like that .

Didn't you post something similar couple months ago similar thing ?

Last minute cancellations are always annoying! Unfortunately landlords are in it for the money and as such, will always try and go for the cheapest option. I don't do much work for landlords, the only few I work for have quite high value properties and don't mind paying to have the work done correctly.

I walked from a job, someone else got the boiler, and I was honoured with the llc.

 

[lame plumber]

just make up for it when the boiler breaks down, most llc types round here cant do repairs

It's a Worcestor, life's to short to faf around with broken ones.

She said she'd had a much cheaper quote. A service and an llc for £105 to £110. A lot cheaper suggests, a lot cheaper. It's just not worth doing.

Some people are just idiotic and don't value there time or like the guy I've done some work with think you have to be cheap to get the work when in reality you get **** jobs that are just a headache

Excuse my potentially silly question but is that a cylinder stat on the flow and is there a reason for it?

[Leo21]
