    Down in ‘Affluent Kent’ dead as a Dodo

    I always thought working on premium brands I.e Maytag would keep the wolves from the door.

    Not the case, I also would have thought if customers are not going for a repair they must be replacing, but that doesn’t seem to be the case either?

    Who know’s whats going on, I certainly don’t..

    3 calls only last week but this week much better. 3 yesterday, 6 today and 3 booked so far for tomorrow.Knackered now but with the tax due end of the month it’s a bit of a relief.

    I can confirm that I’m also finding a drastic drop in conversions through my affiliate’s. People aren’t even buying online much any more at the moment unless they are going somewhere else.

    Thanks LJ,i already cover there h/heath,b/hill and worthing branches.Problem is the further a field i go the higher the cost to landlords.
    Some of which dont want to pay a call out charge.Im in the process of chasing invoices from two months ago as it is,and i do believe another chap locally covers there Crawley and Horsham branches all ready.
    Talking to the girls at Qualtex some engineers around the country are busy and some are’nt.Its a situation that nobody will ever to be able to explain.The Twilight zone strikes again.

    Re: Worst Week Ever

    I’m pretty sure the cover for crawley and horsham is the company i used to work for, I know as i got the contracts, 2 yrs i ran those for then the firm said they were closing the horsham branch and laid me off.
    Anyhow the branch is still open and they are doing the work, though i don’t think they will be doing many repairs as they didn’t repair w/m,d/w etc only small goods people could take into the shop, i done all the washers etc i’m pretty certain they doing new installs.
    Anyway if you wan’t to do horsham give chris a ring at the branch and mention LJ I’m certain he will give you work, Also the horsham branch pay weekly and never miss, they also insist u charge for every call out regardless, they do insist you let them know if it was customer at fault or caused the fault and then they bill the tenant.

    LJ don’t worry, if a tenant leaves coins or bra wires is the favourite the letting agent is soon made aware.
    Why is it the tenant always blames the machine,strange one that. 😀
    But thanks for the info,who knows it might all change next week,ya never know.

    Up here, it’s the first week of the school holidays, so it’s a bit quieter. Ticking over, though.
