Things that annoy you (plumbing and heating related)

Getting a call to go take a look at a problem with a toilet, getting there and then seeing and smelling it has never been cleaned! I've refused to work on some before.

thinking your on to an early finish when doing an install then you end up having to run away to merchants or run into unforeseen problems and end up finishing at 8pm.

Pump supplier gives you a 3 phase terminal box and a single phase head. Then says it not his fault.

Another is it hasn't worked since you were here.

customers calling on a bank holiday weekend, who expect normal working hour rates. Seems they can come here to their 2nd homes on holiday and relax, but the local trades need to be on five mins notice for £45 and hour, inc parts (pcb). They soon learn, after I'll get back to you, then 2 hours later, What were your rates again as I cant get anyone else to answer the phone. Oh dear, theres been an inflationary rise since you last called 🙂🙂🙂

Boiler Change

Tenant Asking how much longer do you think your gonna be
Me: tell them pretty much all day
You said the other day it would only be an hour job


Some of these people want to see how much they can do in an hour

They all sit on their computers

I arrived sunday at about 9 and then they decide to have breakfast (Oven Pretty much opposite the boiler )
