Woman next door has just had a new toilet and wash basin fitted by a
local handyman.

Ripped the old toilet and washbasin out,fitted the new ones and a new
collar for the toilet to waste pipe.

All for £60,she supplied the Toilet and Washbasin plus taps.

Just inspected the work for her and its 100% good job.


Shame he doesn't have the sense to charge a decent price. Not far off a
days work, allowing for snags - you would need to book a day just in case.

So, assuming he works 6 days a week, his total turnover is £18K a year -
less expenses. Lucky if he ends up with minimum wage.

Trust he is fully insured, pays Income Tax & NI, taxes & insures his

vehicle
properly etc.

Thank heavens I sell my services for what they are worth. I charge 2.5
times what he does & am fully booked until the middle of April, with jobs
coming in every day.

The man is clearly an idiot.

He does work for a firm so weekends are a side line for him.
Started 9 this morning and finished 2 o'clock this afternoon,I must say I
thought £60 WAS cheap for what he did and was a bit dubious about his
workmanship but I had to take me hat off to him for a perfect clean job.

Seems he's in demand according to my neighbour.
