Great trick my Dad used to use with the posh non-payers. Turn up in a big old van with "Debt Collectors" painted on the side, park it outside their door where everyone can see it. Usually worked first time.

Yes. This would actually be such a good idea. Also, these "Van sessions" should be a weekly thing, this was too funny

Don't forget the husband that's like don't ask me ask the boss and she has an opinion about everything and I mean everything so end of job comes and you ask her for the money and she says sorry you will have to wait for my husband to come home he deals with that and he's working away till next week lol

For 2 guys talking shit in a van... it's bloody entertaining! Forget rogue customers... "2 guys talking shit in a van" will be a hit!!

In the USA builders can put a Tax Lien onto a property if they fail to get paid.....it's cheaper to do than a trip to court....but.....you only get paid when and if the property is sold or someone tries to re-mortgage it....or someone inherits it.....You will get it....when is the question......better late than never I suppose. Perhaps we in the UK could have the same. Insurance can also be taken out on the build.....it's expensive...but you and your customer can both be reassured that if either party fails to build or pay you will be covered...and the cost of the insurance premium factored into the build.

hahahaha this is the exact conversation I've had with all my work mates.

haha love it! im a roofer and we got bumped not long ago so if you make a show, count me in and ill happily name and shame!

Some of those programs are complete bull. I remember one where they said the customer was left with dangerous wiring in their new extension, amongst other things. The builder had walked out after the first fix, so of course there were bare wires sticking out everywhere, but none were connected to the consumer unit.

Ha ha. Get this program made. Top drawer lads.

👍 video... your spot on boys! had a few rouge customers in my time! always been paid in the end 14 days is the maximum i up give em now . it makes ya sick.. had a plastering job 450m2 was given 3 weeks with preparation time...clients move in property after just ten days then complained about the dust and disruption right untill we finished. then had the balls to drop a snagging list in my lap for the front room they moved in to wile we where plastering it! then clients wonder why good tradesmen are hard to find..

spot on lads go for it. so true

well said......complete truth and would be a avid view if such a programme was on TV 👍

Pay cheap pay twice, or watch youtube DIY and pay fuck all :) Cheers guys :)

100% spot on lads .

hahaha i proper enjoyed thay boys! remember having a right like this in the van a few weeks ago.... another one... book a job in months in advance.. 3 days before u start "ohhh ive found someone whos doing it cheaper" ahh great thanks for that!

yeah so true....

I can't afford to buy cheap a great quote by an old friend

I think a rogue customer show is a great idea as we all have bad customers in every business. I was in the grocery store the other day and an old lady was returning a jar of dill pickles. She wanted her money back. there was only one pickle left. She told the store owner, they were too sour. LOL

you need to get in touch with channel 5

I couldn't agree more. I always take large deposits and part payments these days.

ha ha!!! very true.

you all are my heros!

"While you are here, can you just......?" Not at beer O'clock on a Friday love. This is the best price and witten quote from my plumbers merchant for a boiler, flue, mechanical clock, magnetic filter, scale filter and chemical treatments. Customer takes it round every other plumbers merchant in town and haglles down. Only takes him 4 hours. But customer doesn't actually show each salesperson the previous printed off quote that he has obtained. Customer comes back all smiles with a cheap Itie boiler, but no clock no filters and no chemicals. "I've just saved £300 on your quote!" To which my reply is...."Well fit your bloody self then!" as i stroll casually and laughing manically towards the door.

cheap isn't necessarily a good thing. great vid!

Lol the handbags were out.

haha legends!

so true.. rich posh folk are the worst..
