Homebase......

Happy New Year fella's.......first day back and I've got Homebase on the phone banging on about a 'recommend a tradesman' scheme....£8 a week for the pleasure of 2 years exclusive recommendations from them...I'm half interested, but these things don't usually bother me....anyone else involved or had the call? :fuk2:

Have had the call, my advice would be, don't bother. Plus, you would have to fit their tiles, I wouldn't wish those horrid things on my worst enemy. Get in with reputable tile outlets in your area, don't get involved with the sheds, especially if its going to cost you money.

No bother mate. I got no worries on the work front I was just curious...:8:

When I get these random 1-off, exclusive to you offers, I always ask "why have you chose me"
Is it cos I'm the best, and you've seen my work, done ref's, really want me & no-one else etc?

but its usually just because they've got my number off some mailing list & they're on commission to sign anyone up... so then they obviously just move on to the next number on the list to offer this once in a lifetime opportunity to someone else...

(not sure if that answers your question tho!)

 

[redmist6]

Hahaha....It's ok Martyn, I got all those questions answered. They got my number from my website, but either way to me, anything from these types of firms always feel like a scam waiting to happen. TBF I've got too much on anyway so how I'll cope with this onslaught of job offers he's going on about, I'll just never know!

I wouldn't bother mate, I've never heard anyone say one of these schemes has been worth doing
