Back to top2) Is a tradesperson available at short notice any good?
Whilst there can be some concern over tradespeople at short notice possibly being no good at their jobs this is not always true. The assumption is, if someone is available to start your job immediately then they must not have any work through incompetence. There are many trades persons out there that may have no work at short notice for a variety of reasons such as:
- New to self-employment although not necessarily new to the industry
- Cancellation of other planned works
- General quiet periods which can sometimes happen
There are also tradespersons that specialise in emergency call out work and these people will nearly always be available at very short notice for the very reason that they have modelled their business on this. Usually, these people will be available at evenings and weekends and may have other planned works during the daytime weekdays.
Back to top3) How to perform basic checks on your tradesperson
Back in the day of the large phone directory where every business worth ringing was listed, it was a case of thumbing through the large yellow book. Find the biggest advert with the information you needed listed on there and making a phone call. Nowadays with the internet, every business is expected to have a web presence of some sort. One of the best ways to check on your business is to look at their Google business listing and see how many reviews they have. Don’t forget to not only check the negative reviews but also the positive ones to see what their customers have to say. There are other sites that may have reviews listed on there but some of these sites the tradespeople have to pay to become a part which is worth bearing in mind. Check their social media accounts to see what kind of work they have carried out before and the standard to which it was completed. Take good and bad reviews with a pinch of salt but take more notice of how the business handles any customer complaints as this will say a lot about their customer service skills and their attitude towards customer relations.
Back to top4) Why is it more expensive?
Unplanned and emergency works are always more costly than booked in works. It is simply a matter of inconvenience and availability. Your chosen tradesperson will have to drop everything they were planning at a moment’s notice and head over to you. This could mean cancelling personal plans, getting out of bed in the night to load their vehicle with tools and equipment or moving other works to accommodate you. There is also the matter of emergency tradespersons carrying and holding MASSIVE amounts of stock to be able to carry out repairs whilst wholesalers are closed. As a SAME DAY ELECTRICIAN NEAR ME we carry a vast array of spare parts for fuse boxes and consumer units to be able to repair these things when they go wrong in the middle of the night or weekend.
