Yes, that's usually the case If I can't get there, I give them my old apprentices number as he usually can He wouldn't take a boiler swap off me without asking first either, so that's not too bad If I have some larger jobs to book in I try and leave a week between them, gives you a bit of leeway and you can sometimes sneak a day off whilst on the job Just explain before the job starts that you may have to leave for a day, but you'll try and have that day coincide when another trade is on site (sparky, tiler etc) It works with most customers, but not all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
