I am doing a job for a builder who is doing a fairly big job on a domestic house. His work will take perhaps another month to complete.
I have completed 95% of my work but cant finish the rest until he has completed certain bits which may be another few weeks or even the full month. It's been...
Eh up :)
I need a new circuit installed in my house (cooker - it's on a RFC at the moment, naughty naughty), now is a good time to do it as we're going to put new laminate flooring down at some point soon, so we can make a mess of the current floors as long as we can leave it safe. I would also...
So i am trapped in the never ending rock and a hard place; I apply for a job and told i need more experience, yet i need a job to get the much needed experience.
I currently work full time but am getting some experience with a local spark this is unpaid.
I am planning on starting my 2365 in...
Hi all,
I recently worked direct for a small electrical contractor, I still haven't been paid after nearly 2 months and I don't know what to do. I am having trouble finding out what I can do legally on the net. Does anyone have any advice?
Cheers

Hi all
I discussed a similar situation in a previous thread but the topic keeps popping up with testing jobs that I seem to be attracting at the moment.I got offered a job carrying out EICR's for the MOD and the rate of pay was by the property?? In other words, if I don't knock out 4 or 5 a...
Thought I would start another post, there are different ideas about what an electrician can and should do. What is his skill level in regard to other trades etc. I feel a proper time served Spark has done the same time as a junior Doctor and yet is on a lot less pay, I thought I would stick a...

This is a weird one and I'll try to summarize as best I can:
We recently did a bit of work (about 4 weeks) on a commercial building including building a new cafe area, new toilet area, moving and rewiring office and function room and fitting 2 new single and 1 new 3-phase board. All was dead...
I have been approached by Yell.com to ask if I would like my free listing turning into a paid-for enhanced listing. Does anyone have any experience with this as I am uncertain whether it would be worth it or not in terms of increased call generation.
The deal is this. In my area a search for...
How many of you guys struggle to get paid too?
It seems no matter how much I help or do a good job I still get very bad payers.
What do you do to combat it?
I've been a spark for 17 years and still can't get a grip on this.
So I was working for a bloke, one man band. Pay is outstanding, no payslips for what I did get. How have any of you gone about getting paid, not involving Mr Hammer!
Thanks
Is it just me or does nobody want to pay for work they have had done!!

Morning guys, hope your all well. I've recently become self employed. Done a periodic and board change a few weeks ago now and the guys still not paid me. Been chasing and chasing and he's now not replying to calls/emails. This happened to many of you guys??
I started a business a few years ago and i have done lots of jobs with lots of happy customers but big companies like to knock me for payment so my question is
what is the best course of action when you don't get paid for a job which could potentially put the company in to administration.
Well just to update you I paid out £800 7 months ago to get tooled up for PAT and I have a job on Monday that will have paid this debt off .
So am I pleased well yep a lot happier that it is no longer a cost and that it will now be paying for itself.
Will I make a living out of it emm no it...
