I eventually received a cheque from some sub contracting work i did two months ago,took lots of persistant calling and several invoices later,dont think i will work for this guy again.....good ridance to bad rubbish is what i say.

Hope all newbies read this and think before they dive in to subbie work.

i go my lolly...yeeeehaaaa

[devonmark]

nice to hear you got paid in the end Bri..if he asks you to work for him again, just tell him your prices have gone up...Mark.

[brian c]

cheers mark,dont think i will even entertain trhis mob again,i know the plumber hasnt been paid yet either...muppets!

He had no probs paying me Bri........glad you finally got your doh....

[MrSpoon]

least you've got your money i guess, im just getting into some subbie work at the mo but working quite close with the guys in charge so ive no doubts about being paid my way, certainly got my concerns about working for people i dont know, luckily ive grown to know this company

[brian c]

thats exactly what i thought,but tread carefully,all the best.

[MrSpoon]

hmm yeah true, could get bent over and given the puinishment from the big boys, ive clearly stated my quote is for 1 appartment and agreed im jsut doing one apprtment and whatever happends after that is to be discussed, i certainly wont be agreeing to continue working with them if problems occur on their part but a friend works for them and has helped me out immensly so hopefully all will be well.

has this put you off site work altogether tho?

It certainly has not helped but you never say never in this game.

Ireceived another cheque last week from a building firm who owed me £150 for 3 months.....at least i now have it.

[davy_G]

Ive one builder who asks me on Wednesday what i want, it goes into my bank on Friday (minus 20%) and he never quibbles at what i ask, we work on the understanding that the first time i let him down it will be the last!!
Another builder, i have to wait till the next job, sometimes months, before i can get him to answer the phone...cnut...but its good money

Good to hear you got what's due, i'm not a tiler but in the same vain i supplied materials to one of the largest tiling companies and in one weeks time that invoice ( part of )will celebrate it's first birthday..... i will get paid but this is a whole year of paper work. smile when things seem bad because there is alway's somebody a whole lot worse off than you.
