Why do customers deliberately hold things from you when it will only make your job longer which then costs them more?

So I got called to look at installing an electrical cooker and hob to replace the gas one that had been taken out. I went and told the customer it will have to be on its own circuit and wired in 6 mm and it was easy to hide the cables under the floor and you will never tell. But no the customer...
Hi Guys

Reviewing my calls this week and had one that really takes the biscuit
Had a call from someone wanting spots fitted by the end of the week (called on Thursday afternoon)

A lot of people were suggesting that the FITs cuts wouldn't be so bad as at least it would get the crap out of the industry. I think they were badly mistaken. Firms still hugely exaggerate the returns and they are still doing very nicely.
On the few surveys I have done (doing one this morning...

Have noticed now by doing lots of jobbing that there are 3 types of customers.
One type is really concious and wants the best equipment and peace of mind for safety, the flip side to these customers is that they are really fussy and look over you when you are doing the job and ask so many...

So just spent an hour investigating a fault on a customer's lighting circuit (MCB tripping). He has lived there for over ten years. I asked him if anybody had done any work on the wiring recently, he said none of the electrics had been touched whilst he has lived there. Seemed to be a dead...
