find a trusty tradesman

System

I have been passing myself off as a tradesman for years. I know a bit about everything, but I'm hopeless at most jobs. I always price a bit cheap so it suckers people in, then I find extras to charge for, or I get them paying extra for the materials. I give people dates & times, but I turn up when I feel like it. Most of the stuff I do falls apart within a couple of months but there are so few tradesmen about these days that I never have any trouble finding the next job. I use the punters telephone all the time & I dont give a stuff how much an 0870 number costs to call. Only joking. ;D

I know I think you are right. We still haven't got the bleedin' kitchen in yet. MFI are going to do it. Fingers crossed that it goes okay, and if it does I will put the bloke I use on the 5* board for everyone to know. Maybe I will even marry him :-*

It has meant that man has had to develop his DIY skills, that can only be a good thing ..... although he does keeping asking for a belt to put his gun in ...... its a drill!!!! thinks he's a cross between tommy walsh and john wayne.

Thristy work reading this thread

My other half works for a team who fit MFI kitchens and he is always getting asked to do extra jobs.  Don't ever worry about asking them, because their pay is usually rubbish so they need extra work to keep them solvent.

Also, he has just finished his first year doing Plumbing training and is inundated with requests from family, friends, friends of friends etc to do work for them (We're in Nottingham by the way). He is a very conscientous worker and won't leave until he is satisfied with the job.  Just shows that there is a very big shortage of trusty tradesmen.  We've had to struggle while he's been doing the course and earning rubbish money but it will all be worth it in the end.

Very old thread now but just wanted to say that I used MFI in kentish Town both to supply and fit my kitchen and they did an excellent, very quick and very tidy job. I felt I probably paid a midrange price but don't regret it for a second!
