We had John Lewis getting involved a month ago with a tie-up with Emma Clancy & co.

John Lewis trades thingy called me this week, as they have no cover for the BA1- BA3 areas of Bath but loads in Bristol who have not got any work from it, I told them I am too busy with other stuff at moment so why not ask the Bristol lot to cover the areas? She said they somewhat foolishly signed up every spark who approached them in Bristol and they are almost fighting each other to show themselves available on the app in the hope of getting some work. I knew the Bristol house bashing scene was crowded and a fight amongst them to get work but not this bad!

Wont be long before the short course providers are using lines such as “ become a amazon/john lewis approved contactor”

Bizzby are operating the service.
I have joined it out of curiosity. They take 20%. It’s subject to site survey.
I have not accepted any of the jobs as I would only do if it’s local. Not worth travelling for at that money. If extra parts or materials are required then you have to quote it via the app and get them to agree before you start the works. I assume if it’s a no go for whatever reason it’s your loss. But if you went to quote and didn’t get it you would be no better off.

To get on the list you have to supply them with insurance certificates and test inspection Certs as a minimum.

So all in all good for the Electrical Trainee to earn their £65K!

Maybe eBay will get in on the

How can anyone quote without seeing the job?

I've been asking myself this very same question for decades, but it frequently happens nevertheless. The only work that I'll quote blind for is an EICR. Everything else I take a look at first.
