Tricky one.....

The force in you is strong mr blair....Not sure the plug spanner would be able to fix the tank with a branch speared through it though....

 

You underestimate the force young Arb, those big tanks can take a beating, it's just the breather caps you need to watch

[Goaty]

You think thats been "made safe"??

 

Not being funny, but to me it just looks like the easy bits been done and the bit that really needs doing (the stuff above the roof) is still there.

 

No I wasn't making a judgement on the status of the job in this thread, but rather generalising on what previous posts I'd read about rush/rescue jobs. I wouldn't want to stir comment on someones work as we are not allowed to in a insulting way on this forum. We need to get on nicely. But like the OP. I have left things unfinished and not as safe as I liked due to circumstances.

 

The positive is that someone is out there for the customer when you would struggle to get anybody of any trade. I remember the guage blowing off our heating oiltank one christmas eve and the fuel company wouldnt come out until the new year:thumbdown:

 

Peace out:001_smile:

got there at 3 alone gets dark at 4, every now and then you get a job which you over think but in my opinion it's safer considering every possibility. Been told price is irrelevant.. What sort of figures would you boys charge? Emergency job etc. Cheers

 

££££?

Charge your costs and for your time

4 figures then.. Lovely

Do you not fix a price before commencing work?

Normally but I'm the contractor for all this company's sites the sent me an order for works before I'd even seen anything, when I called them and said ill sort out a price they said price is irrelevant just bill us. It's a big company.

I work for a company like that. Just because they are big doesn't mean they don't know the value of a quid. Don't go in with a silly invoice,just bill them like you have done with a bit extra for the nature of the call-out.

Good advice

 

After the invoice has been sent they may well request a break down of your costs.
