thats what we get in southwest but not with the chinese or polish etc, what we get here is idiots coming out of the forces or factories wanting career changes and doing 6 month courses in gas and plumbing,this doughnuts then go out charging low rates to get work undercutting everyone and the public are buying into it . I constantly here stories revolving around customers who are not happy with shoddy workmanship then.
Thats true ! Many a time we (I mean my colleague, a Gas Safe registered guy and I) have to go and correct the "shoddy workmanship" of these characters ! Very few value professional workmanship, the majority in London are driven by lower prices alone !
