Had a call on Saturday, need a quote on some papering you were recommended off a friend you did some work for. Ok I said I can come Monday and give you a quote. Got there and the job had been done already Oh she said should have called and told you not come I had it done yesterday, Sunday. Ok I said as long as he did a good job for you, yeah its ok he was here till midnight, wtf. Was he a proper decorator I asked, yes he used to work on the roads but decided to be a decorator and work for himself he dose tIles and laminate floors as well. She said sorry and said if there is any more decorating I will give you a call. Well I think I will just sit by the phone waiting then.
Bloody hell mate, Don't sit by the phone, she won't phone and if she doe's she'll have it done the day before you turn up! Pain in the Ars* these people... B J
Used to work on the road and decided to be a decorator. ha ha ha. Heard it all now. I wouldn't entertain a customer if they hadn't the respect to call me to let me know the work had been done.
Don't mind loosing out on a quote to another pro decorator, but when they decide I know I think I will be a decorator now, it ..ses me off. And the fact that it was the day after I had been asked to quote and he was there till midnight that says a lot.
Dont let it pish you off mate. Most of us have been shafted by Google/youtube trained brush-hands. Plenty of work out there for quality decorators without competing against these jokers.
"Used to work on the roads and decided to be a decorator." Hmm I'm thinking of becoming a freelance brain surgeon... Anyone know where to start?
My brain needs some work JJ,have you got the right tools for the job or will you be using your carpentry tools,I'm not bothered either way as I don't think your be able to do anymore damage.
Had a job delayed not long ago because the plasterer they had was a fire man and they were waiting for him to be on the right shift
