Extremely bad rates even with my eyes.

 

[nybor62]

i was shocked , i will call is bluff ,and give him a bell monday see what he has to say about it ,

 

[Mike]

you would have to be very fast to make money at them rates. at my speed i'd not earn much. i like to take my time and have pride in my work. at them rates i'd have to sacrifice that

 

[nybor62]

i know what you mean mike

 

[wayne]

does that include mats mate?

 

[DHTiling]

Tell him to do one.. tosser.

 

[Daz]

[Andy Allen]

[nybor62]

[nybor62]

why less rate on the walls..?

Tell him to do one.. tosser.

dont know dave

 

[merlecollins]

If his email was as blunt as you have stated, he knows himself the rates are a load of rubbish.
I think your best bet is to politely decline his offer - so long as you keep it amicable he can come back to you when the fools that will do the job at those rates make a mess

 

[nybor62]

as i said in an earlier post ive done his work for 5 years , never had any come backs.
i think he needs to remember that is reputation for the tiling side his down to me, as he is a plastering company who got into tiling
by chance , and has got bigger and bigger every year

 

[DHTiling]

See what he says tomorrow but those prices are mad..

 

[Gazzer]

those prices are more than what a local company are paying close to me.
