What are you paying for?<br />
When you employ a tradesman, keep in mind exactly what you are paying<br />
for. It may not cost you very much to change a washer, but if you call in a<br />
plumber to do the job, it will cost much more.<br />
Why? The list below details what he is charging for (and you<br />
will be expected to pay!)<br />
• His skills.<br />
• The full range of specialist equipment<br />
• Obtaining the materials for the job<br />
• The transport and parking<br />
• Time spent on the job<br />
• Clearing up and packing away<br />
• Business overheads<br />
Be a sharp operator<br />
Before he arrives, make sure you both know exactly what work you want<br />
him to do and what he is being paid for. The main problem may be your<br />
leaking loo, so before you call a plumber, check that there aren’t any other<br />
jobs that you would like to use him for while he is there. And when you<br />
contact him, be sure to itemise all the work you agreed upon - however<br />
trivial some of it may seem. If you start adding extra tasks after he arrives,<br />
do not be surprised if you’re changed for them and your final bill is higher<br />
than the original estimate.
