putting carpets back

[kirkgas]

why not, I trained as a plumber, if its a corner of carpet not an issue, tap tap tap, if the whole carpet is rolled back then customer is responsible for sorting it out if need be, I dont want to be accused of overstretching a £4k carpet.

Haha lame how unlucky can we be, I've never had to investigate one of the guys damaging a £100 carpet, they are always £50 m2, and when you visit, it's been chucked out, and the total value of the rest of all the house carpets doesn't even add up to £50 never mind £50 m2

I see where you guys are coming from but, I thought it would be nice for the client if you could do it without them having to get another trades person in. I donhate doing it and it is never as good as it was before.

Include your guy in your price, and make a few quid on top, (and it means you also get your own carpets fitted for free)

I write in the quote that I will relay the carpets within reason and if the custard thinks it needs to be done better then it's down to them to employ a carpet fitter.

Some carpets fall to dust as soon as you touch them!

I believe I shall be adding this to my quotes

No, surely you don't do that?

I got a copy of a british gas quote which in their terms and conditions it stated that a theird party must replace the floor boards. I couldne believe it

In practice the BG engineer lifts the carpets and floor boards and replaces them too

 

[mutley racers]

That's good to hear. Why do they put that in their terms then?

Stretch back using your shoes. Hammer down edges onto grip strips. Tuck down edges with bolster.

You'd never know they'd been up.

So if needs be they can use it as a get out. Very rare though for a manager to ever quote terms at a customer though

If you start putting on extras like carpet fitters, surely you'll price out of jobs in these price sensitive times.
I re lay all my own, but tell them if my best isn't good enough they'll have to pay to,get some one in. Obviously not as blunt as that, but you get the jist.
