Last year I did a few houses for a landlord, I don't do any stud work so the landlord got this kid in, he was **** and got the sack after 3 days for being unreliable and slow. Took 2 days to build a small bulkhead and board it for me to pull in.
After I did that I put an add up on a forum asking for some help on a job, and I get an email from this kid, not knowing its him I ask for quals/certs and what experience he'd had.
He tells me he's not qualified and then tells me he was working for said landlord, not knowing who I was obviously. Then tells me he did a few months with them and got laid off because lack of work. Which was untrue, he got sack cos he was crap, I was there when he was told to **** off.
He also tells me in this email he can, dryline, cove, plaster everything apart from render. He was recently still emailing me asking about contacts and work. I just ignore him.
I didn't bother with him because I realised who it was, full of shite and left it at that.
I lost a job just before Xmas (not big) I priced about £400 I think, and was told I was undercut by this said kid, he is now advertising as being fully qualified plasterer, dryliner. When I'm pretty sure he's not.
Did a staircase over Xmas, got the job but talked to the owner who said this kid priced up and went in dirt cheap, but he thought I looked bit more professional so decided to go with me.
Another job I ask the owner about how he went about getting quotes and he tells me this kid quoted asked about other quotes and then undercut me by £30. I got it but only because the owner thought it was a bit cheeky asking who else had quoted and what there price was.
Amazing how this kid was emailing me wanting work, now he is blatantly undercutting me. Must be going in at £80.00 a day.
I know a lot about him and he doesn't know much about me, the cheeky little lying bar steward.
