No Work on!!!

[WHPES]

For the first time for ages I find myself catching up with accounts, paperwork and stuff. A few boilers to service this week but other than that, NOTHING!!!

How is anyone else doing?

Rubbish, big job starting first week of next month that should last a while but nothing on the cards till then.

 

[WHPES]

I was supposed to be on a boielr change with heating system refurb but the people decided to sell house so job was off. Big job in a fortnight. Fortunately Ive got a few silly little jobs to knock off which have been waiting for a while.

 

[dontknowitall]

No work either and I'm loving it!! Done my accounts, had them signed off, done the tax return, mowed the lawn, chased a few invoices and looking forward to a holiday!!

Well up on last year and not panicking as I know I've more work lined up soon and a decent job in the autumn.

 

[WHPES]

OK if you havent got bills coming in and little resources to pay them with. Summer holiday away looks like its not going to happen this year.

Couple of little things yesterday and today, but down to customer letting me know at last minute that her father was doing the tiling, full day tomorrow and starting next bathroom 2 days early on Thursday, she decided the full bathroom would be tiled now. Bits and pieces week after, two weeks hol, then four full bathroom refits, oil boiler change followed by a bathroom move and a bathroom creation.

 

[kay-jay]

been busy up till this week, phones only rang for people flooging me advertising and one custard who rang then rang back and said she had found someone cheaper!

[WHPES]

Spent the rest of the afternoon walking the dog round a nearby village handing out fliers and got 2 boiler services and a bathroom to do.

ive been slack aswell the past few wks have been quiet again .good job the other half is working

 

[villa_tom]

I'm really quiet, fortunately I sub-contract during the week and do my own stuff evenings/weekends - have been getting a couple of jobs a week normally but nothing apart from a gas cooker to cap in the last few weeks. If I relyed just on my private work then I would be screwed.

 

[gaspastemania]

Been flat out for the last few weeks , boiler changes, fires, services and couple heating installs .Havepriced about 30 grands worth of work but worryingly not heard back saying anything is accepted so am expecting bubble to burst anytime soon ,,,,,, oh the joy of plumbing

I know what you mean, still waiting to start this subby work its taking forever but I've been fortunate to have got a compensation claim(£2800) to live off of which unfortunately is almost ran out so now I'm working just to cover the bills !!! and people are still trying to get into this industry because they think its easy to get work lol

i got about 20 text messages from an agency yesterday saying installers wanted in glasgow immediate start ,,,, not for me tho i'm in devon lol

 

[GQuigley67]

ive been waiting to start inspection and surveying work for quite sometime now BG are taking ages !! was ment to be last month, last week, this week, now its probably going to be next week

 

[gaspastemania]

Was for install teams with immediate start

 

[villa_tom]

Took me 9 weeks to start contracting to BG from my initial test until from first day. They do take their time but its good once you start.

 

[CES]

I'm still waiting on that BG contract too. My work has steadily declined over the past month. This week Ive got a boiler change, two hobs and a repair. Time to look out the emergency can of spaghetti hoops I think. I've got sod all for the next couple of weeks.

 

[CES]

What agency were looking for installer teams gaspastemania?

 

[GQuigley67]

I'd say we are about the 9 week mark too Villa_Tom from the induction lol

 

[CES]

Jeez.. Has it been that long GQuigley67????
I reckon ill give Darren a bell tomorrow and see what else he's got.

 

[GQuigley67]

must be around 6 weeks anyway lol, I'm quite busy this week will be dead the next, will have some time to do the back of my van then if the weather is good lol. Just applied for Service and Repair Contract work aswell with Rig Energy since BG decided to give us 1/4 of what they promised with the inspection works

No work= mountain biking in the woods, 10am lay ins, lunch at my mums, happy Myles. It also = no money to pay the bills, they say your only 3 pay cheques from being homeless.
