Always have clean pair off smart overalls on each day. Have good quality

with rubbish. Always use "clean" dust sheets. Be very clean as in
preparation, when working and afterwards.

Impressions are important but don't make yourself too clean otherwise
it'll look like you never do any work!

Another thing springs to mind. Get yourself a hands free kit and drive
sensibly whilst you are out on the road.

I was following a building van this morning who was veering back and
forth across all three lanes-the driver was yakking on his mobile! I
made a mental note never to use 'ABC Builders'.

They may be perfectly good builders but I won't be using them. If
their staff have such disregard for public safety whilst on the road
what sort of short cuts will they take when doing a job? Will they
use insufficient acro props? Will they not dig the foundations deep
enough? etc..etc.

Maybe it's just me but there are a number of companies (In all fields)
that I'd rather not use, simply because a single member of their staff
can't drive properly.
