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.
