ProDave Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Back to tradesmen. I did the wiring for a major refurb of a derelict bungalow last year. It was a complete gut and replace everything so the owner employed a lot of all sorts of trades directly to achieve the end result. At the end she said something rather interesting to me (bearing in mind my location and she was Scottish). Of all the trades she had on site, she would hapilly employ all the English ones again on another job, but would only employ ONE of the Scottish tradesmen again on another job. Draw your own conclusion. P.S. Please keep the thread clean, this is a respectable forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, well we had a mix of English and Scottish and there were good and bad from both countries. Only had one Welshman and he was ok I guess .

I disagree, I was a self employed builder for years and only got work by word of mouth by recommendation, I also worked with a few local lads who were also recommended so must be good. Like ProDave above. My new build was done by a local builder who has a great reputation and his work for me could not have been better, I thought I was fussy and would upset the guys but their attention to detail was spot on. i am not saying every trades person is good, there are a lot of cowboys about so if you want a good trades person do so by recommendation.

Triple07 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Just to add my tuppense worth, we haven’t had a bad trade on site, granted we haven’t had many but, Brickies, sparkie and plumber all faultless, all have their own business and a reputation in a smallish community to maintain, perhaps the issue arises when there is no accountability for work? Working for a developer that pays price-work tends to encourage a “wham bam thank you ma’am” approach, and on to the next job, different site. Some of the trades on the developments is utterly shocking. Working for yourself you are relying on your number being passed on because of satisfied, returning custom, perhaps it’s a sign of the times, people don’t know their community any more and are selecting tradesman from glossy adverts. Unless newly set up, good tradespersons don’t need to advertise, heck they don’t have time for the backlog of work from word of mouth to even consider a glossy ad! Also if you need good trades, I do think you need to wait, I think a lot of issues with selfbuild arises when deadlines over-run and people accept whoever is available just to get on. Id be suspicious of any trade that could start immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I emphasised to OH the other day, I was merely taking an interest in current affairs and discussing them with my girlfriends in a lively manner. This was quite valid given that a still from the new series of Poldark was on the front page of at least 1 highly reputed daily newspaper. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
