Not quite as long as you lev, but in 20 yrs I've only been diddled once too. As it happens about a year in and for about £90 iirc, labour only. Took it quite bad at the time, called round several nights in a row but no answer. Realised later that they were in the 'do what you likey' club. You live and learn!
Yeah happened about 5yr in I got done for 3k in extras, customer said "you can take me to court but you will lose ' awful feeling but fortunately most of customers are recommendations so unlikely not to pay,
There you go. You’re working with recommendations now and OP isn’t. He’s new to the gig. Anyway I’ve said my bit, OP can make his decision.
Ouch, that must have stung for a good while. Much the same for me now though, all recommendations/repeat customers, no stress at all.
The OP seemed like he knew what he was doing and am sure he will find what's best for him I never once suggested he should wait for payment iits something I like to do and I won't be the only one
Hello everyone, I've written out a quote for the customer and asked for £1500 plus materials. I felt this is a reasonable price as it could take 6-7 days especially due to me already working full-time and that I will have to sand down all walls and it will be time consuming with the stain ect. Also as he's got quiet big rooms I felt he would perhaps need a few tubs of trade paint which can cost quiet an amount. Especially now he wants a few different colours, and paints for ceilings, woodwork, fillers ect. Let's see what he says ..…...
I think I will be getting some more jobs in the next up and coming months due to some interest in my work. Hopefully this one goes ahead but even if it doesn't I'm not to worries as it is a big pain of a job Thank you for your help
Unfortunately he did not except as he finds that too expensive for "just 2 rooms" but oh well. Probably saved myself a big hastle Thank you everyone for your help
He obviously wanted top for very little outlay, what he will get is carp job for little outlay he will end up on checkatrader
