Job I was on today had a major rat infestation....I thought of you :)
 
I thought of you in a nice way :) couldnt tell who you were from photos so have no opinion...except I think of you dressed as a COD player lol or halo.

Saves pest control fee and you must have fun doing it :)
 
I learned the hard way when testing.

I am half way through a void office and told the guy at he start a price per circuit, which he agreed to.
just as we'll as we found another 3 DB's went from 37 circuits to 81

as I take debit cards I took the payment for the first part of be job this week and I told him the initial results.

i make it policy to NOT tell anyone if something has passed or failed until I have finished and been paid.

i have been burnt before ( by telling people things ahead of payment) and make it clear at the start that the procedure is
1. Cost and scope sorted
2. Job done
3. Payment
4. Report
5. Remedials

That is a very useful tip, thanks.
 
Finally had a very short email reply from their accounts in response to my request for payment. It simply says they have posted a cheque and want the report/certificate for the completed work. I replied saying I send a combined report and certificate on receipt of full and cleared funds.
What made me laugh was the inclusion of the following...

'All our products are manufactured under strict Quality Procedures and all our workmanship is guaranteed for twelve months.

***** has achieved accreditation to the Contractors Health & Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS).

The views or opinions present in this e-mail are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the company. The e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the individual or entity to which they are addressed.'


Not sure if the sender has a sense of humor or it was a coded message for help, no way is this company a safe place to work. Just took a look at the CHAS website and all they appear to do is give a company a kind of 'HSE' pre qualifying accreditation for a fee. They don't actually come out and check if a company is a safe place to work, they just take your word for it. Anyway, if the the cheque bounces, assuming I get it, I think Ill give CHAS a call and let then know what I think of their 'accreditation scheme'. :cheesy:
 
Had a similar situation with an EICR recently. The consumer unit was upgraded in 2010 and some remedial work carried out. There were no notifications on the original certificate, but I had flagged up 31 items (11 of them C2). The customer refused to accept that It could deteriorate so much in 3 years and it was reluctant to pay for the inspection.....Obviously it wasn't tested correctly in the first place!
