dont give up yet av any of you tried sending text to local builders plumbers joiners etc that are in your local thompson,yellow pages just text them what sort of things you do ,did this about 2 weeks ago got our first job from it today,who had been given our number from another builder that recieved our text,good few days work,things are starting to pick up around our way booked up for a while now(thank fook)
aint no harm in tryin
 
crackin idea, theres sites where you can text for free on the net too right?
In fact, many a plumber has to deal with a dropped bathroom ceiling, might help to throw in a few basic reboard/ overskim rates so they can price the whole job on the spot and fire it straight at you with no headache...
yer average joiners usually in after the wet trade though...
and all yer average builder is interested in is how much per room / wall / house and how quick can you do the job...
 
just wrote out one message and kept sending one after the other,think going to try it every couple of weeks from now if you dont let people know your out there they aint goin to phone
 
hello .......what happened to you we use to chat so much?.........if youre interested ive heard youve got a couple of holes that need filling .....get back to me
 
nicksey you are a dry sumbitch ;D ;D ;D
i only just got that, i actually thought you were talkin to gaz ::)
ay gaz, yeh business card stuff but maybe try 'established contractor rates - full room overskim 4m x 3m 150 quid labour only or whatever you wanna price it at, or bathroom ceiling re board and skim 3m x 2,4m 200 quid inc mats..'
that sort of thing is on my add in the paper and the phone is ringing...not too much this week, got 2 jobs booked done 1 already, 1 on sat but it does work when they cost a job up in their head without worrying about getting loadsa quotes in..
take the rough with the smooth and it all works out in the end...
and if its a pig of a job just tell em 'full room' means 4 walls... or a real pig - 4 walls on board.. or really really bad 4 walls on board plus mats + vodka
