plumbers....

[Mr Tiler]

No harm in asking but you'd be better off just quoting for the tiling and getting the customer to arrange for their own plumber! That way you don't have to deduct tax, and pay before you get paid for doing the job!

I wouldn't pay before being paid anyway mate lol... but I suppose it would be better cheers... whatever happens on a job in particular the floor will have to come up as the tiles are on floor boards

So you finish the job , the plumber fits the sanitary ware back and the customer makes you wait for your money!
'oh sorry Mr plumber but I can't pay you till I've been paid! Real world.

Customer aranges plumber and customer pays plumber easy

Recipe for disaster and a hard lesson to learn.

Two (real world) options:

1) Do it yourself but in my experience - always price to include new iso valves and pipes as they nearly always leak when shut off. Toilet will nearly always require a new donut washer too.
Price-wise: can we discuss on here?

2) Insist that the sanitary ware is removed before you start, and leave it for the customer to sort out.

Anything else is just a pain in my experience.

I can't say I've ever had to replace the Donut, but then, I don't take the cistern off of a close coupled wc. Just carry the whole thing out. I do get the occasional faulty isolator, but I wouldn't say the majority!?!
