Evening All

Does anyone know whether British Gas are still dealing with subbies to do their install and servicing?

Also do people on here do emergency and non emergency insurance work? If so for who and how did you get into it.

Regards

BG still use subbies - I'm subbing to them at the moment doing service and breakdown, but they also use subbies for installations. As for the insurance work my mate does it and they phoned him so not sure how you'd go about finding it without them contacting you. Have you tried the agencies as some of them seem to have the whole thing sewn up.
 
Im subbing to BG for servicing and breakdowns too. Not sure about the Insurance work tho, I did a bit a couple of years ago but not had any since.
 
i was on probation interview with them ,past the criteria and now trying to avoid getting on with them , the local manager keeps ringing me as he wants me to joint them ! i sort of over heard that there prices are not really good they priced a change of rad and valves for £10,boiler change combi out combi in same location they value it at 6h work (£20 per/h) then you get some more on top from bits and bops and then they expect you to power flush for i think it was 2-3h(£20p/h) i am trying to generate my own work and for the past mount is been not to bad to be honest!!!did work before for company doing installs and got sick of it to be honest every day the same----- take one out-----put one in---- all combi boilers vaillant !
is it like this with your working place CES????
