It is in the SW anyway! same here, the site sparkies normally throw in a load of ADE or texecom type stuff. the majority of the new builds around here have a blank lyntex box.

Vince8282 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hi This business like any other depends on who knows you, in the sense of they can't get in touch with you unless they know you exist and why and how. In other words marketing. You can submit an editorial type article to your local paper complete with photo's of what you do loaded with all the benefits for the would be customer. You could make a special offer to readers of the article with a time limit to take up the offer etc etc. You present this to the paper as a press release and if they use it it's free advertising for you. Submitting a photo of you, gives the impression to the press that they will sell more papers (cos all your friends and relatives will want to see your mug in the paper won't they):yes Best wishes Vince Practice in the morning, practice at night. Practice in the evening, until you get it right. Only make sure you are practising in the right way at the right time for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alarm Protection Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 We have 20 houses with a new build company at the moment and it has been a nightmare from the start. There has been no contact from the foreman to tell us the floors going down and he needs the cables run and well joiners..........they are idiots!!! Thats only 20 houses so i cant imagine what a site of 100 houses would be like. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Engineer Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 We have 20 houses with a new build company at the moment and it has been a nightmare from the start. There has been no contact from the foreman to tell us the floors going down and he needs the cables run and well joiners..........they are idiots!!!Thats only 20 houses so i cant imagine what a site of 100 houses would be like. Joiners! What about the plasterers. No matter how obvious you try and make out that the cable in the corner of the room needs leaving on the outside of a finished partition, you can guarantee that on every site you'll be digging into walls for the odd cable. I know they do it on purpose. Service Engineer My opinions may not reflect those of my employer, managers, colleagues, customers, friends, family or pet rabbit.
