In council houses , does any building / electrical work have to be carried out by the council ? Considering they own the house , can the tenant have work carried out without involving them.? You can't go altering council houses can you ?
Had a call this morning from someone who ordered a new cooker , when delivered there was nowhere to connect it so it went back . Asking me for a quote to wire a cooker supply , they said it was a council house , I said I thought the council had to do all the necessary work on their properties. Woman said they didn't want to know .
Knowing the area of the job I quoted £400 off top of head and I was so busy I didn't know when I could do it , basically I didn't want to know TBH ...phone hung up , as I guessed. !!
Should have added £1000 for a couple of heavies to guard the van while our backs were turned .
