Corgi home plan engineers

[ss123]

Hi,
As anyone done any work on behalf or has any experience of corgi home care plan as i had an email from them offering free work leads in my ares so i filled in a form and now they have sent back a contract to sign before they can send work,but before i do i would be interested to hear of ay good or bad experiences and to get a general feel to see if it is something worth getting involved with.

thanks in advance

From what I've seen on her some people think its more hassle than its worth as they moan about the cost of parts you book to the job

Not worth the hassle, they haggle every time about the cost of parts and they want a copy of it

Done some bits for them, have you filled out the form telling them what you want per Hr , You only get paid for time on job, time and cost of getting parts is on your head, so if your parts supplier is quite a distance take that into account. they will pull you about how much time and costs you are spending on each job, and if it go's over their national average they will suspend you, If you want to do some work don't expect them to give you loads of work, I find the odd job or two helps cover my fuel costs wile doing my own work, but don't expect to make a fortune fro them, if you live in a large city you may be ok, if you are out in the sticks forget it.

Thanks guys i will approach with caution, i would be interested of any examples of disputes with prices and times on the job you may have had as i think i may have set my self up by putting £35 per hour and 10% add on to parts as if they watch things closely there will be no money in it

Reliable, but tight as a ducks bottom, so no change there. That's how they survive.

You are a bit low, £45 for gas £30 for plumbing 15% on parts but thinking of increasing been on these for 2 years its time costs went up give them an excuse not to use me any more
