£30k fine for landlords who do not provide a valid EICR for their rental properties

Zoom,

you`re a man after my own heart.

We think pretty much in the same way.

Ref treat a customer like you would your own family, yes that`s my ethos too.


But.


Yes the little very low cost corrections, like you I`d do with customer consent, either prior consent or at the time I find it.

Yes Bod it does irk that I`m correcting someone`s p p work and they`re getting away with it. If I see a danger I will remove it (with customer consent).


If I see something that is an "F1" then, with permission I would investigate and correct but explain it`s an additional charge or I`d disconnect with consent. If permission was not granted to correct or disconnect I`d oyng them to death until they say OK, it usually works. What you can`t (ok must not do) is without consent.

The best way to get consent is to explain things in a reasonable way and get them to decide to ask you to do such, a bit of "physcology" usually works. If that fails then a quiet word with one of their trusted friends or relatives usually works.


As I said, an F1 (A genuine F1) is an unsatisfactory because it has not yet proved to be satisfactory, on investigation it may become a C3 or better but then again it might be a C1 or C2 lurking if left asit is.


I always asks meeself "what can I reasonably do"


Actually I must admit that a few times I have explained to a customer "I needed to do XXX, because I could not reasonably leave as is for XXX reasons, there is an extra charge but it is voluntary because you did not ask me to do it. If you think I have been reasonable and decide to pay me then that`s fine but you are not obliged to pay me in full or in part, it`s up to you, if you want to discuss this with a friend or relative first then that`s ok too". On the very few times I`ve done that they`ve always happily  paid, so far.


PS - how do you spell "oyng" as in pester ?
