Why are people so tight.

Cousin asked me to get her quote reguarding house rewire so I did. Three bed house full rewire signed off etc etc £3000.
She then sends email to electrician stating his services were no longer required. (who i work for).

Just found out the FITTER at the hospital is gonna do the work and get it signed off by someone else for £2000.

Now I know I will be getting a call in about two or three weeks to start recifying but the answer will be NO.

What other problems do you see.

If you're not doing the job you won't get any problems mate. Apart from possibly family related ones maybe. If your cousin has installation problems then they are not yours

 

[trev]

It comes back to ignorance thoughm your cousin probably knows nothing about what he/she would be getting for the £2/3000. Wouldn't you take the cheaper option in their position?

 

[trev]

Mind you, given the choice of 3k for a qualified spark or 2k for a numpty who "knows what he is doing"

I'd be asking your "cousin" how she expects the job to go!!

 

[mayfair]

Best thing with family quote is to stick about 2k on your normal price, They all think your minted anyway so you might as well give them something to talk about.

Another example of people not respecting our chosen profession

Put smoke detectors on the christmas list.........

Edit, make that battery ones or they may struggle.

 

[edward cooper]

no I would not take the cheaper option because i understand like you that 80% of the time cheap is crap with cheap nasty accessories crap board and poor installation especially by a fitter who does not even hold the 17th edition.

Bet he does'nt even fit duel rcd board
