hi,i worked for a company between 2004-2007 (Newcastle upon Tyne)who sub contracted to total trade services,we covered the whole of the north east and started even doing Scotland to Leeds,there was me and a mate installing 3 x heaters, 1 x e7 time clock to immersion heater,if no immersion supply was there or cable not up to standard,new circuit would have to be installed.Upgrading of Main earth which was 80% of the time a tt system,and 10mm2 to water.It was job and knock for us,which meant early starts to beat traffic and load up with heaters and BRICKS!.Total Trade would always phone up to see how we were doing to try and give us more work or snagging off previous contractors that wouldn't be anywhere near the job or on our way home.I pushed for more money off boss but he always said that Total Trade still owed him money and wasn't getting fuel allowance.In the end he had to stop doing work for them because didn't get paid.At the beginning i think the boss made money but Total Trade just want more and more work done with no extra pay.
