Pay Cheap - Pay Twice

Putting right the builders mess.

This is where the Fitz2Kleen team are working this week.

Not after build cleaning as you may think, but we are actually finishing off and rectifying the work that the builders were paid to do.

Sadly for the customer, after being paid, the builders vanished.

This customer was left with a restaurant that would have failed food hygiene regulations.

There were gaps along skirtings where rodents could get in, open spaces in food prep areas where food would get trapped and just a generally appalling job.

Another prime example of why should use a reputable company and not be taken in by price alone.

This is not what you want when you are trying to start up a business, however it happens all too often when using untraceable contractors.

While it's disturbing to see what can happen when using cheap tradespeople, sometimes, when you find out more information, you can see both sides.

Since going out to quote this job, we have had the quote for work accepted then late night telephone calls trying to haggle down the price.

Trying to be understanding to the plight, we offered a hefty discount.

The job was in two parts, rectifying the builders failings followed by a full after build clean.

After offering a discount, we were then told that they had booked someone else to do the clean because they were cheaper!

Thought for today .... The customer is NOT always right!
