I'm dead at the moment, plenty of quotes but no-one seems to be wanting to spend! Luckily for me I have a plumber that is busy who I can help out so still working. Over christmas I was busy and able to put to one side so its not impacted me too bad...
Thanks! Seems like my luck has changed already. Had a call this morning, I'm being forwarded plenty of work by another plumber so plenty to go at. What a difference a day makes!
Plenty here. No lull over xmas and January either. I know many are struggling though. Have to say the phone is dead as far as fresh work - it's all referral and recommendation.
I haven't had any new work for ages either, all existing contacts and referrals. Reputation seems to be a must have, in this climate.
ticking over but a tiler local to me is pricing against me on several jobs ,I called him today and told him I will be withdrawing my prices from one particular builder who is trying to create a dutch auction,I will call the builder tomorrow and ask him to delete my number
Funny thing is Brian ,I tiled the customers 2 previous houses and they like my work ,the builder wants use this other tiler as he thinks he is his mate ,the tiler is a good fixer but subs out most of his work these days and cuts his prices to the bone to try and keep his subbies working so the finish will be okay but the customer wants better than goodI don't play pricing games with people either Gary, I spend a decent amount of time on quotes to make sure I'm offering my best price to the customer and at the same time looking after myself.
think i have around 100 m2 in front of me at mo so cant complain, but i want a new challenge. Maybe work as part of a team with lower £per m2 but more meterage, I have been lucky enough to be doing more high end work with stone and porc but id like to just do more meterage, think it would enhance my cv. Im not and never have done tiling to become rich so the money is not as much of an issue, need different life experience me thinks!
