The least reliable tradesman

[Bonni]

I do most of the trades, some to a great extent. It means I end up on some commercial sites, but mainly domestic work.

Often I hear customers mention which trades are unreliable for turning up, sticking to promises etc..

For me, it's plumbers. In 22 years, I've only ever met one plumber that was reliable and didn't fall off the planet.

What's your experience?

As above all trades can have there moment.
Plumbers and Electricians especially if they are sole traders and do call out/emergency work as well as install are on a hiding to nothing.
In early 90s I gave up struggle I never liked repair work so gave up doing it myself.
All repairs & emergency work I pass on to subcontractors.
I've small team that do install only. They are all subcontractors tend to do 2/3 days a week for me.
So unless someone ill or a vehicle problem we're on time on target.
