What else do you offer or would think about offering ?

I got sick to death years ago waiting for a Sparks to come in and do some work.I was working for a famous interior designer and doing high end painting . The sparks would rock up always late and still earn great money . So that made me train and qualify .I wanted the money and to limit relying on others . Clients also welcomed it . So now I am more than happy to not only make good etc .But REALLY make good if there is time and the customer will pay .They just dont want too many trades all tripping all over each other and turning up late etc .


So what else would you do to add to your worth etc ? Obviously this is more Domestic type work!

Completely agree that people prefer less trades on site especially in a domestic or small commercial, I can offer everything and often do end up doing most things, but only ever on the same rates as I’d charge for electricial works, it’s surprising how many people are willing to pay knowing it’s all getting taken care off without them lifting a finger

I offer basic carpentry if required. I spent a few months working with a good friend who is a carpenter and picked up and developed good skills. I like the intricacy of good joinery.
I am kept too busy with EV and Battery Storage at present and will soon be going into PV.
I do like a bit of welding and fabrication if time permits, currently working on a really good custom built BBQ.

I will pretty much do anything and everything ( except gas and wet plumbing ) , I make good all my own chases if time allows , i will paint a room and even a whole house if the price is right. i will lay new laminate flooring for customers again if time allows and the price is right.
I do plasterboarding and have overboarded plenty ceilings and put up new coving.
As a one man band its just easier to do 99% of the jobs yourself

100% if I ever get an idea things good go wrong and a female is acting a bit "tarty" ..I am off . Its not worth it and Ive seen a few guys really regret it .From cock rot to mad calls in the middle of the night or a Husband been told and wanting to kick the ---- out of the guy etc . And I have had to "escape " a few times ....some of these wealthy women are nuts after a couple of drinks which they seem to like .

Yup I think more so when you are SE, good to have a few strings to your bow.

Think @Dustydazzler has nailed it there….when you are on your own it’s a pita to wait for other trades it’s easier to just get on with it….on something like a rewire it’s often easy to lose the making good at a very good rate within the quote so why not
