gumtree

[growler]

anyone had any luck advertising on gumtree ? for £5 a week I might give it a blast...

Yes I sold a caravan on gumtree mate, it was free and it went quickly.

catched couple of my first jobs there , including a nice rewire. but that was 5 years ago, heard that recently the place became a mess full of cowboys and people looking for cheap labour.

You could try freeindex.

I do very well out of freeindex and gumtree, guntree is £5 for 30 days where I live. Freeindex though, I do very we out of, I won't give away what position I am but easy to find!

I found what position you are but don't worry I won't say anything ;-)

I like the website mate plenty of info on it, I like the list of call out charges. Your reviews are good and you have some good pics.

All my reviews in freeindex etc I post on my website, I get a lot of good feedback from people, and again the photos, people like to see photos and examples, I don't put everything on there but some of the more interesting bits.

all I can do is try to get business, seem to be doing something right.

To be honest mate I like your website and the free index page and I can see why it works. That's some neat clipping on the outside lights ;-)

 

[uksparks]

I try my hardest, not every job is perfect and occasionally I bend the rule book a bit but generally speaking I try to do the best job I can, hence the tidy clipping on the lights.

id certainly recommend freeindex and gumtree for getting work, generally speaking I'll get 3 or 4 calls a week off it.

Your work does look good. I don't have a website or advertise as I mainly do work for builders etc. I do a lot of work for a partitioning company who install grid ceilings, mezzanine floors etc and I get the electrical work off the back of them and the main builder I work for is an insurance specialist and mainly do flood and fire damaged properties. I would like to pick up a little bit more local work to fill in a few gaps so I might take a bit of inspiration from your website if I set one up

I'm trying to get in with various plumbers and kitchen fitters to get the odd extra job, I've just got in with a bloke who fits loft ladders, he seems to be feeding me a lift light once every 7 - 10 days which is good, ideally I'd like to be in a position where I can get fed work from others.

What you are doing is good as all your eggs are not in one basket. As with me most of my work is with the two companies I told you in my previous post, I'm lucky enough that both have a good reputation which in turn gets me work. I do a lot for a local heating company as well wiring up s-plans,y-plans etc which helps to fill in the gaps a bit. I still get the odd PV install which are normally good little earners.

PV is not something I have evee looked at, do you do the whole job including the panels?
