JUst part of the job squirrel, I had a call today from a london number wanting a quote on a set of basin taps and a bath filler/shower , She said she lived in my town ( somewhere in leeds) I said i will pop round free of charge and give her a free quote .....no not happy she wants it over the phone ....I dont do that as I always like to see a job first I explained, " oh I'll just leave it then, thanks anyway" haha I have had a few of these of late , I think it is some marketing nonesense pretend customer and all that . Never over the phone will I quote now. Just all part of the job. It is the same with insurance work "oh I need three quotes " Then the insurance company can choose the cheapest non insured non tax paying cowboy offering silly money to do the job. Don't lower your prices mate ...stick with your prices and your honesty and you will get a good many job from it , when all these silly beggers like the woman last week who wanted a outside tap fitting and ball cock swap and syphon swap for £ 10 pounds you wont feel funny about laughing in her face. ( I tried hard not to though guys
