Any lads working for YOURREPAIR

[Markwirral]

any of the lads on here subbing to “Yourrepair” , I saw an advert for them in last months gas safe mag looking for subbies,
Gave them a call had a chat showed my docs , you go online and fill out a form & put what your hourly rate is , they call you sign you up then you don’t hear from them for 2 weeks . I gave them a call to see if my account is active and they say lads in your area are repairing boilers for £30 an hour for them .
Just seeing if they’re saying this across every area to the lads .

Sounds like they are wanting to charge you out at a profit. With overheads you will make very little even if they feed you several jobs per day at 30 per hour.

Don't fear Mark, they will keep you updated on the amount of work you are missing out on

I keep getting the job offers with PGS. Have a look at one part of their term and conditions.

So they want 45% of the job, make you wait 2-4 weeks for payment and don’t pay you if they don’t get paid. Are they having a f...... laugh.

That wouldn't stand up in court. If you did a job for them they have to pay you. I had a letting agent send me their terms I laughed all the way through it when she phoned back and asked what I thought I asked her if she had a legal department check over the terms as they would not be legally binding. (I have a solicitor brother in law who can check things over for me and convert it into English so I can understand)

Things like not having to pay you if there is a dispute until the dispute is sorted and they can dispute any they wish and I can't argue I have to give them all the details they want, if they don't get paid you don't get paid, basically these now seem to be common in larger companies.

I don’t know if it makes a difference Millsy but they want you to sign an agreement to the t’s&c’s. As soon as I saw them I gave it a swerve. They still keep sending me jobs through, luckily it only goes into my spam.
