What jobs do you lot avoid. I had a foreign landlord today who wanted a quote because the last tenant nicked all the copper pipe. Class. Which I avoided. Other ones for me are hobs and cookers, unless they're regulars. "it's only connecting a hose" gets very boring.
 
I manage to get away with never touching toilets any more probably because every time I had to work on 1 I moaned like hell and now they dont bother sending me to them.
 
Bath taps, toilets, powermax boilers, service requests late in the day or at weekends, saniflows, jobs where customer starts with "it's only a five minute job", jobs where the customer starts with "I've just bought a....."

Maybe I'm getting fussy in my old age!
 
unblocking sewers, Worcester cdi divertors,anything french,headless vokera reps:81:
 
I give my dad all the toilet jobs, aren't I a good son. Don't mind taps though, normally get good money for those.
 
Rehanging rads that have fell off and the walls been replastered! Hate hate hate doing them!
 
Anything done by a diy'er. Touch it and it's amazing how you suddenly are held responsible for everything gone wrong in that house.

Students are another. Wee slobs should be forced to study not break good installations for the fun of it.
 
Saniflows. I Will Not Touch Them. I swear to gods I regurgitate stuff I've not eaten yet!

I was with my dad when he opened one up years ago, after that I changed my title to heating engineer.
