FAO David@StIves (Ladderfree)
« on: February 03, 2007, 06:16:36 pm »
Hi David i received some information through the post today on laddersfree and they say you are a member. One question really

Have you had any worth while work from them?

I almost joined last year but it did not seem right at the time.

Or any one else had any decent work from them?
Or any feed back good or bad?

I was with them, I got one request to do a quote, but i never got the job.

I am no longer a member,

They also offered me a 4 storey building 450 windows they offered me £175 to do it on a monthly basis, I luckily pulled out at the last minute, the words rip off spring to mind.

It was not very professional of me pulling out at the last minute, but i am glad i did.

I will send you photos of the job and let you decide what you think yourself.

Dave,

I wonder if it was the same as one of the jobs they asked me to quote for?

I was asked to quote on several very large Hotels and never heard anything back from them. I never thought that I would though as the hotels had previously just got their porters to do it for free!

I got asked to quote the biggest hotel in padstow , forget the name of it, I quoted £400 , big 5 storey old rotten frames hundreds of windows and all sorts of access problems.

Also the 450 window one was in Truro a retirement complex.

No not the same ones!!

I quoted on the Atlantic hotel at Newquay (5 stories about 600 windows) and another large 5 storey Hotel in Newquay (cannot remember the name).

I'm not sorry they didn't work out, getting into Newquay in the summer is hard work.

i also had it sent to me, i don't need to tell the whole world that i'm ladder free (at a cost of £95) when the sign writing on my van says i use water fed poles.

i could find something better to spend my £95 on so i filed the paperwork (in the bin)

In what manner did they use my name, I am a bit concerned they are still using my name , my membership ran out ages ago.

I dont do Saltash , I was just copying alex at winding 2 fellow professionals up.

I dont believe for one minute Alex comes to St Ives

Send me your E-mail and i will send you those photos

Oh yes we do Dave!!

We have commercial jobs in St.Ives and all the way up to Saltash/Launceston. These are generally jobs for management companies that we do lots of contracts for. However we never canvass and have no plans to increase what we currently do there.

You can canvas St Ives all you want, Its not a nice place to be in the summer , too many tourists.

as you know there is more than enough work for everyone.

After all I only have 300 jobs , good ones mind.
