Why do I bother?

arranged a service on a boiler under warranty, dead easy money. Get a text today (jobs arranger for 9.30 Monday) how much extra for llc, fire and hob. Text back explaining fires are time consuming, remove check flue etc. Quote an extra £50 to £60, phone goes quiet, no texts. Until an hour ago.
"sorry to mess you about, can I cancel tomorrow?"
Shes obviously been shopping about, who answers the phone in a Sunday. Who answers there phone on a Sunday, and under cuts you on a £110 job?

Why do some of us under value ourselves? Let's just say I'm not happy.
 
because they do work like this

Last minute cancellations are always annoying! Unfortunately landlords are in it for the money and as such, will always try and go for the cheapest option. I don't do much work for landlords, the only few I work for have quite high value properties and don't mind paying to have the work done correctly.
 
just make up for it when the boiler breaks down, most llc types round here cant do repairs :)
 
It's a Worcestor, life's to short to faf around with broken ones.
 
Maybe you need to adjust your pricing structure old pal??:ciappa:

She said she'd had a much cheaper quote. A service and an llc for £105 to £110. A lot cheaper suggests, a lot cheaper. It's just not worth doing.
 
Some people are just idiotic and don't value there time or like the guy I've done some work with think you have to be cheap to get the work when in reality you get **** jobs that are just a headache
 
Excuse my potentially silly question but is that a cylinder stat on the flow and is there a reason for it?

pipe stat and its connected to a frost stat
 
Don't they have built in frost stats?
