What hapened to the council work u were on Stan

 

[Dannypipe]

Sorry to hear it Stan. I hope it picks up. This is worrying. London and quiet. Not good.

 

[buckley plumb]

same here work slack .

 

[Dannypipe]

Arrrgh. Well I hope it picks up for everyone. It is the summer so it's normal for it to be more quiet.

I'm busy but who knows how long it will last? I can't afford to not be busy and I'm sure its the same for you.

Seriously hope it picks up. Its become a runnning theme on here these past few days. Most people seem to have gone quiet.

The way things are lads, you have to be prepared to travel to work. Get a 0844 number and you can advertise in any area without it looking like your own area code. A 0844 number is free and your caller only pays 5 pence per minute. There's still a stigma attached to people especially older people phoning a mobile number.

Bathroom last week was a 80 mile round trip, but it paid well. Local work is barely existent at the moment. I've plenty of work but it's wide spread over the country up here.

I did work on a contract in North London but had to leave as contracted was not paying me on time and there was a massive delay of payments .
latlly have been working in Dorking one tower block was having new ch systems fitted , but there bathrooms was given to a plumber £115 each , I was doing system boiler and cylinder and another plumber doing full ch rather two or three bedroom flat for £200.00 .
Now almost all flats are done and I have like 2-3 days of work each week that is way I am looking for a new contract to get my self on before run out compleatlly out of work !
My old firm is starting g a job in late August it I don't beli e them as I have heard the promises million times .
Keep your self busy lads , and save for rai ing days

but there bathrooms was given to a plumber £115 each

Is that labour only? Still if it is, it's slave labour and a rip off.

 

[SimonG]

Have work will travel. Plenty on and scattered about.

Hope it picks up for everybody else.

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Labour only £115 . And 7 rads to pipe £200 (joke)
What you have in mind Lee ?

 

[Guest123]

Hope it picks up for you SGI. Plenty of work up here. Pack your camper and fishing rod and head North!

 

[SafeGasInstall]

I don't mind the travel if the work is there and I am hard worker
is just all contracters I know don't like to pay you untill they make you starv to death

How far in north are you ? I was week ago in Orkney and loved it there .

 

[Guest123]

Close to Stirlingshire but not in the Central Belt. Plenty of countryside and the Highlands are only 30miles North. Orkney is a great place. Anyway, I do hope work picks up for you, times are hard.

Not loads but have 3 full conversions to do conventional to combi. Obviously need someone to do boiler etc more than happy for you to do them, long as you dont mind me shadowing you?

Im sitting in the house tomorrow, scottish gas promising everything under the sun usual crap, im travelling all over the place doing heating systems for a price, only thing about travelling long distances for your own work is your pricing a job you may not get and are down £20 in diesel.

Think I have a system to do thurs and fri, and more next week but still not consistent enough to make a decent wage

 

[Destroyer2813]

If its to far for Stan give me a shout and may be able to help ya
