Sacked for doing a good job?

Had a phonecall yesterday to quote for fuseboard change and some bits and pieces. Guys just bought it and moving in next week...he gave me address.

Have a fear this is a house I tested in march...owners then were told by solicitors they need a test report before they move out...

I stopped test halfway through due to amount of faults I found...I recommended at least a partial rewire.

Its either the same house or next door.

Could be interesting if I turn upto quote and say actually mate elecs here are dangerous etc etc

I'd have a copy of the report in my wheels when I go round!

and if you can get a day rate of £400 in plymouth, i'm on the next train.

Ha ha thats what I was thinking, If I paid a pat tester £400 a day I would expect him to work through lunch or have mars bar and sensible food if diabetic

I usually always work through lunch and I dont get £400 a day?!??!!?

How much? In the Plymuff? Not a chance. I'm getting phone calls every day from agencies putting people in Plymouth and they're paying ln the region of 100 a day. If I thought I could get anywhere near that I'd be over there all the time, Plymuff is only 20 miles away innit? Half that maybe, if you're very lucky.

Cheque cleared so I sent them report/certificate. Obviously those testers only getting paid £100 a day are not doing the job thoroughly. I average £1500 per week and work mainly from referrals.
