Do you work in the public sector?
OP you're just butthurt because someone who didn't even go to university made a load of money from you 🙂
Just for the record I had something similar once. Got quotes for a job, priced based on hours, guys come in and do it in way less time. Phoned and said that something was up and they halved the bill. Always worth asking.
on the flip side, ive been working away from home last week so did ten days work in seven by working 9 till 7 instead of 9 till 4 and now my customer is saying im over charging asking for the ten day price. im too tired to argue, 10hrs of laying stone a day is no easy feat
If the quote was for 2 men/2 days and it took 1 man/3hrs I'd be asking myself has the job even been done properly.
For all the company know the workman was onsite at your house for 2 days when in reality he may have been sat at home with his feet up pulling a fast one.
Plenty of cowboys trying to beat the system.
[quote=nealglover]If the people defending this type of tactic are self employed, I hope you never get featured on watchdog or rogue traders.
[quote=rkk01]Nope, major corporation.
Fair enough.
[quote=rkk01]And, Nope, I'm not defending sharp practice.
So what I said doesn't apply to you then, but thanks for quoting it and replying anyway 😉
