Quoted for a job !

[Gazzer]

Had a txt message this morning at 7am from said company. " I hope you have reconsidered this situation and you will be on site no later by Friday am, you will need to complete by Monday am.Had we not have required your services then we would have let you know."
My reply via txt " When asked for a written quote It is usual practice to be given either an email or letter of acceptance or even a job number. Further more no dates were mentioned only that when you had finished 1st fix plumbing and the work to a dividing wall, then I the tiling would commence.
Sadly I have no time available in the next month to do this job"

As i write this another txt.
"That is unacceptable, you knew you would be getting this tiling so you will have to work something out.

My reply just
" The point is that I did not know I had this job as you did not accept the quote, why ask for a written quote if you were happy with the prices I have charged on the past jobs. Really sorry but I have no time ."

He sounds like a contact you could do without Neale. If the working relationship hasn't broken down, maybe next time he'll be a bit more considerate towards you and realise that you don't sit at home on your arse waiting for him to call.

 

[Gazzer]

From the tone of the txts I would say there will be no more jobs actually.

I'm sorry, but definatly after those texts, would I be telling him/her to go forth & multiply. :incazzato:

 

[Gazzer]

I found it strange that he used a txt or was that because he didnt want to actually hear me. Maybe he thought it was too early to call ?

 

[cam_low]

He's hasn't the cahoonas to call you knowing he is in the wrong

 

[Stef]

He will be back after he gets someone else in to tile & sees the difference in the standard of workmanship.

He will be extremely lucky to get a good tiler at such short notice.

The fact that he's doing it by text suggests to me if accepts he may of made a mistake. He's now trying to guilt you into it.
If he was confident in what he thought was or should happen it would be face to face or at least an actual phone call. Not text.

 

[AliGage]

Can you fit him around your other commitments?

 

[Ian]

Heard anymore from him Neale? Perhaps an apology for being a huge tool!
