Do you take a deposit?

[CJ]

It surprises me the amount of bods that supply TILES.

I have always said to customers......they get the tiles, and sometimes I will pick them up.

So if you had a small job to do let's say 18m2 bathroom you are only supplying the adhesive grout and trim what deposit would you want and when could you book me in as in what is the first available dat you can start from today??

Go **** yourself beano

 

[Qwerty]

I take a deposit for every job. It's written into my terms & conditions.
25% on confirmation of start date (covering materials)
Additional 25% on commencement of works
Remaining 50% on completion
My customers know where we all stand as the t&c's cover them too and what my obligations are to them and what they can expect from me. Peace of mind all round.

Why are you surprised CJ. I send my customers to my supplier. They see tiles that cost them £1000 retail, I get 35% and give 15 of it to my customer. They pay £850 and I get £200 for doing very little. Trust me, it's easier than working for a living.

Over the period of a year it can pay for a nice holiday thank you very much!!!!

I always supply tiles when I can, I can make 15/20% on them, just tell them to go and pick a tile from the tile shops I use, then I give them a discount, normally 15% then leave it all to me I order them, and pick them up, wouldn't be doing that though if I wasn't making anything on them..

Personally I would not take a deposit on a job of that size andI would be able to book two days to do the job starting 28 feb

Yet another thread you're causing grief in, what's the problem this time? How on earth have you managed to read Deanos post in an offensive way?????

 

[Tony73]

I only take deposit, if I supply materials. If I do bigger projects (say 4 bathrooms) , take payment after each bathroom completed

By replying to this I'd be accused of causing more grief. Tell me though bri, why do you feel the need to get involved?? Beano continually post quotes me and I read his posts as being slightly knobby. He does have a history of this type of behaviour though.

 

[radim]

never took deposit yet. but on big jobs want to get paid in stages...
