Goes the phone.

Help. Water's coming through kitchen ceiling.

Turn off stop tap and open all your taps. I'll call this afternoon.

So gets there. First line out their mouths. The son in law tried to change the cylinder yesterday. Second hand cylinder.

Tells them it was a good job they omitted to tell me over the phone and it will be a new cylinder plus idiot tax.


Then ongoing texts from an agent.

Monday or Tuesday I went to fit a new bath screen for an existing customer in a flat they rent out. Last tenant had broke the old one and they bought a new one. I had a key as new tenant not in till the weekend.
To cut a long story short I slipped in the bath and the screen went through the bath. Straight on to customer to say I will fit a new bath. But won't get it till Monday and fit Tuesday. New tenant in and gsc are texting me.
1. Tenant is ok with me letting myself in no earlier than 11.00
2. Tenant doesn't want me in the flat alone so I can arrive between 9.00 and 12.30
3. Tenant is saying toilet won't flush and I'll be able to fix that whilst there.

Agent received text to say I would be there at 9.30 and that as far as the toilet goes they can go forth and multiply.

GSC offer 90 day terms.

Haven't had any dealings with gsc since I told them that I would go and fix a boiler 90 days from the day they phoned.

Must be halloween.

90 day terms pffft

Turned up bang on the money 9.30.

Knocked on the door.

Oh I told them you couldn't do it this morning.

Better not use the bath/shower as it was only a temporary repair. If you do use it and damage is caused it's at your own expense and will be confirmed to agent along with failed appointment charge.

Have a good day.

Barstewards. This is why I don't work for agents.

On a plus side the owner has said they would pay for the new bath. I acknowledged their offer but insisted as it was my fault.

I did that once. But the screen took out the basin instead.

Fun on the bun.
