Electricians and plumbers are stealing a living
As you seem to have cognitive difficulties, hygiene issues and problems with vermin i must respectfully decline the opportunity to attend your property.
I am confident you will find an unqualified handyperson to resolve your issue for less than 8k

I disagree. I work in social housing and am salaried.Electricians and plumbers are stealing a living with their outrageous pricing.
Debateable. Some probably try and get away with unqualified people.do landlords actually use real qualified people .
There is good and bad in all walks of life, doesn't mean everyone is out to fleece you.The reason I'm suspicious of the profession Is when my boiler went in my. Old house I trusted the industry and he told me it would cost me around £8k to fix as boiler was gone and new boiler needed. Are you absolutely sure???? Doubled down yes maybe you get a good price! In reality the fuse had gone (costs £2 to change). When I told him that the fuse was dead he hung up the phone.
Ridiculous, I would charge £1000 for a 10 minute job and thats atleast 5 weeks food. A 10 minute job is 3 weeks food for 2 children.
Everything costs three weeks food when you give the kids theseRidiculous, I would charge £1000 for a 10 minute job and thats atleast 5 weeks food![]()
Unless I've missed it, the OP (Opening Poster, if you've not seen this abbreviation before) still hasn't said if they live in a rented property or not.
