It's worth it on every job mate unless you seriously know them and they are not messers! I have just had a guy in France cancel on me!!! I agreed the job last month with him for Monday 12th December and told him I need a deposit to make it a firm booking, he said and I quote:
" I will definitely, definitely, definitely be going ahead as I have searched France for someone like you" I responded with a contract and said sign this and send me the deposit then and I will make it a firm booking! He said:
"No problem! The deposit is on it's way" I e mailed him again today a month later and said "No Deposit Yet"
Just had an e mail saying he has put it on hold for now!!!
Good job I didn't book the ferries and flights wasn't it
