Evening,
Got a text about 6 weeks ago, owner of flat above one I had done an eicr & works in wanted me to sort communal area pwr & lite. Advised same as previous leasehold common areas should be on l/lord/service supply, but is not. She says she will take it on as its a shambles. Also wants eicr & remedial/upgrades on her flat when vacant. Long & short after EICR & agreeing works by me, she now wants the p&d's fully qualified plumber & electrician(same person) to do all remedial/upgrade works in the flat on the back of my report, I am to do communal areas only.
Thoughts people please?
 
What are you asking mate, he may be a very good plumber and electrician.
You can't win them all.
 
Is there anything to stop someone being a fully qualified plumber and electrician? I know ‘qualified’ and ‘competent’ may be open to debate but I’m sure there are time served individuals out there very competent to do the whole lot.

There's nothing stopping someone being both and to be fair I know some plumbers that are better at wiring heating systems up than time served sparks

 
Bruce you keep quoting members posts but not adding your own reply ?????
 
Where did the p&d bit come from.
 
I'm confused. The painter is the electrician? I thought you said "the painter's electrician".
 
It's ok pal, you seem to have got the quote bit right.
So click quote then go to the reply box click enter quote and then typed your reply under it once it's in the reply box.
 
In fact you've done it now.
