pick axe. baseball bat, hard hats, first aid kit, mask. & silly hat

 

[rocker]

If they are that naughty decent boots and thick gauntlets may protect against AIDS needles.

A Rocker special (meter of SWA with a brass gland on the end) in case there's a ruck.

defo looking forward to it.... !! My Company, The Landlord, Enviromental Health and Joiners all converging on 2x flats!! p.s the Landlord is a locksmith and also works as a County Court Balliff...! he not a small chap either...!!

 

[brucelee]

GOOD LUCK mate let the others go in first lol you protect the rear hehe

 

[Adam W]

Full face visor, ballistic vest, shin pads, cricket box, hard hat, steels and some thick gauntlets should do it I reckon.
Bit OTT for changing a couple of socket fronts though isn't it? Are they bad payers?

 

[DurhamSparky]

dont know!!!

 

[ezzzekiel]

unless hes got a court order it dont matter how big he is and if the tenants pursue you could find yourself locked up for all sorts of charges

If you have nt got the police with you its not legit and you ll end up getting in trouble.
You can get arrested for breaking into your own house if you ve got sitting tenants.

He goes in first then.

I've had to break in many times when I used to do council work callout. Just be alert for any 'sharps' when you go in.
If there is any dangerous stuff there, make sure your employer gets you all jabbed up for things like Weil's disease etc..

We all know that work is a bit thin at the moment but breaking into someone's flat just to do a job is going a bit far don't you think?

 

[telectrix]

or is it to get the materials for the next job?

 

[DurhamSparky]

20 years ago, my mate was a British Telecoms engineer working that area & it was standard practice to send two vans - one bloke in the property working, & the other bloke sitting in his van watching the first bloke's van. I don't suppose the area has changed much since then.

 

[DurhamSparky]

no not much!!! you can count the occupied houses on one hand....!!

The landlord probably paid £1 for each property. I seem to remember there were some houses up for sale @ £1 each in that area a few years back. (no kidding)

I would agree with surface trunking too.
