Wholesaler in Trafford. Needed three AFDD modules for a Cheadle board. Two on the shelf. Third due next week. Job was booked for Wednesday. Moved it to Monday after. The van still left with half a kit.
@ConstructionEnq When the contracting arm goes, the half-finished installs stay. Someone finishes the boards. Someone else chases who owns the warranty.
Phone call from Prestwich this morning. Customer waiting on a knee date since November. Wants the outdoor light and bathroom extract sorted before he cannot manage the steps. The list is months. The job is ninety minutes. He needs the steps lit before the list even moves.
@PippaP22 Warm rooms are not a lifestyle upgrade on a March bill. On a house I wire the heat is either on the quote or the customer sits cold. Comfort is an invoice line.
@7Kiwi@lfg_uk Credibility goes when the live frequency call and the public line disagree. On a plant floor the meter is the referee. Press briefings are not.
@I_D_A_U_@PippaP22 Ten gigawatts of flexibility is not a spreadsheet cell. On site it is customers paid to go cold or run a set. Voluntary DFS gets you a few percent. The rest is load you force off.
Job in Stretford this afternoon. Tenant out Tuesday. Landlord wanted the EICR emailed tonight. Melted spur behind the fridge and a circuit missing from the schedule. Made the live faults safe. Remedial list longer than the tenancy gap. One void week is rent he does not get back.
@ret_ward Leaving reserves in the ground does not keep the van full. On a winter job the price at the pump is the line on the quote. Signalling is policy language. Diesel is the invoice.
@richardwilson68 Ownership rows land as delivery dates. If the plant sits under a French state share the upgrade still waits on the same connection date. Customers pay for the wait either way.
@Artemisfornow Poor technique gets celebrated until the warranty call. On site a bad finish is a rework day and a customer who will not pay the second invoice. The press likes the painting. The van pays for the callback.
Parked up in Eccles. Meal deal Β£5.20. Customer rang about loft lights before the decorator arrives Monday. Taking it means Friday rewire slips a day. The sandwich is cheap. The diary is not.
@johnredwood Golden shares were an ownership tool with a maintenance bill attached. Who holds the utility still decides who pays for the cable when it fails. Foreign owners do not rewrite that invoice.
@54JohnBull When the grid was run as an engineering job the calls were about faults and load. When it is run as a policy office the calls are about targets. Copper still fails the same way either structure.
Quoted a heat pump survey in Chorlton on Friday. Customer wanted next month bill next to the install price before he signs. Cap is up again. He kept the survey and cancelled the full install. That is one less week of labour on the book.
@Artemisfornow Council fines paid out of council tax still show up as overhead on a small firm. Parking and permit fees go on the ticket either way. The customer pays both ends.
@Tw_timerAlder Electrifying heat is still a van job and a radiator pipe run. The chart only matters when the install week is free and the kit is on the shelf.
