Am I a bad customer / job magnet

[LPC]

I'm curious as to what did you do with the flue? (that was wrong?)

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

I hate the nobs they get round. Had a joiner telling me we had fitted 60kw. Logics on a headder wrong! Cos boilers were joined together on one pipe

Its a proven fact that joiners and marble floor layers know everything about how boilers work!

in theroy you have not even done a complete gas installation, so gas safe should have no real comments apart from let you finish it tbh.

it would be nice to think an industry body would protect its competent members when a customer is a feking idiot.

some people just need there legs snapping tbh.

I put the flue 690 from opening window but relized before I commissioned turned on ect but customer went mad when I explained I had to call my roofer and get more flue. There was no extra cost but she went mad

People like that want you to
A: do the job without any dust
B:do the job without any noise
C:do the job without any hiccups
D:do the job as if you weren't even there and didn't interfere with
their important lives
E:end up doing the job for free

Sorry to hear your having a bad time. Happens to all of us bar none. It can get you down but chin up. Try to remain composed when dealing with the custards and worse case scenario write the job off as experiance (but do try and get the money back for the materials minimum).

happens to us all, just had a cheque bounce down the road to be told to squat, not worth the hassle chasing a couple of hundred so note to self to lob her cats some cyanide and laxative next time I pass and look for the next job 🙂

I'd be chasing it. Not for the fact of the money (if you can afford to right it off) but purely for the principle of it. I always pay what I owe I should be payed what I'm owed!

Maybe I'm just a vindictive old git. Lol

Spot on Millsy. Chase them till it hurts. Dont want a rep for being a soft touch. You want people saying that they couldnt believe you chased them for the last penny.

Oh dear. Sounds like they are playing you. Small claims court here we come.

Register the boiler to your address. As then they won't have warranty - also report it stolen?

They have said they don't want my boiler once it's inspected they are getting my boiler removed and replacing it with a different one

If they haven't paid and are obstructing you from collecting your property .......?

Get a letter sent ASAP to them stating that any faults found by gas safe will be rectified as soon as access is granted this will be at no extra cost. Also include the invoice for the job and state this must be paid upon completion.

If they are refusing to let you put right the work then they will be to blame you should be ok if it went to court.

It sounds to me like they are trying to frighten you into backing down. Don't do it stand strong try not to take it to heart and do it the legal way they could end up paying for 2 boilers! Lol.

 

[P J F PLUMBING]

They don't even want my boiler !! They said we are having it inspected then taking it out !!!!

 

[Ermintrude]

Well inform them that if they or anyone else touches boiler they will be paying for it.
