"Making Good"

[London Luke]

How many of you "make Good" on a job etc if the client asks?

I did some lights and a Power shower last week and did all the "finishings" as well to save them calling in a Decorator. Got paid and it made life easier .

I know some guys wont even sweep up !
But in this day and age of work been a bit thin on the ground at times..... do you offer to do more than just "spark and run" ?

When i get around to doing some pj's i think i will offer but explain that a decorator will give a better finish.

I always tell people they may need a plasterer / decorator to make good as I don't do it.

I Bond and skim if i have the time. Just find its a great way to keep a client happy. Decorate etc They find its easier to keep it all "In house" with one guy rather than waiting for a plasterer and then a decorator.

Just not enough work at the moment !

I make good on my PJ's. Thing I've found makes the biggest impression on the punters is not leaving holes in the wall which they knew would happen, but taking in henry before the toolbox, and making sure I've cleaned up. I think using henry has got me more reccomendations than doing a neat job!

I always clean up after myself. But always recommend a friend to do the making good. It swings in roundabouts

i always plaster up and make good on rewires,i'm not the best plasterer in the world but its sort of expect where i am really.
I always tidy up..we seem to have a bad rep us sparkies for not tidying after ourselves...
