They all want your money and dont care if your the best or worst trademan.And a lot of the customers are timewasters
I definitely found that 'slated people' were expensive and the customers were hassle to get hold of or didn't get back to me. I just wondered if anyone has had a positive experience.
rip off parasites is my description of these leeches and the customers are nearly always a pain the arse from what i've been told by stupid engineers who have been sucked in.

true of some, thought checkatrade were ok, but most seem badly run and a rip off. It's just that advertising through yellow pages or the like is even worse and bl***y expensive, especially at the moment.
Whats the best way to drum up work?
Whats the best way to drum up work?
i've had 2 job quotes of rated people at the cost of £30 one was for a extension seemed genuine and gave him a quote not heard from him yet but its only been a week the other job was a extension the guy didn't have planning permission or drawings so seemed a waist of my time and money.
i did learn that if you don't quote on a job email them with the job ref number and tell them what happened you get a free quote
Have a look at TrustMark and their Trades Leaflet
It's a government supported scheme to help customers find good tradesmen. It does not help the tradesman find work.

weve just been accepted onto our local trading standards buy with confidence scheme. Its drummed up some business directly, but also seems to swing jobs when we quote with other people as well. Not all councils do it, but if its in your area, well worth doing
