insurance work

[parkesy_plumb]

who does insurance work (call out/breakdowns)?

I do some for corgi and another home emergency insurer and looking to get more work of this kind. Any one do this kind of work?

 

[village idiot]

I don't, and not quite prepared to go down that route.
I hope you get more work. It's that time of year, so those tyres of companies will be well busy

 

[parkesy_plumb]

i dont live off that kind of work but its a nice top up if youre prepared to go out at all hours that is

[parkesy_plumb]

who ya work for?

 

[lame plumber]

never been tempted to go near them, like my payment straight way

 

[helpsy]

Do emergency stuff for Able Group, but not since September as can't keep up with my own work. I quite like going out late night/early morning, no traffic on the roads.

 

[parkesy_plumb]

i have looked at able group but dont like the 60/40 on the payment terms .. and i love being out and about at that time nice and quiet ha

It amazes me that people will pay £100 + per Hr to these company's , but if they call you direct they expect it done for £30 or less, regardless of the time of day.
