Incompetent or Dis-Interested Sparks of Today.

Zoomup

I recently viewed a shop that needs some electrical work to make the installation safe and reliable.

The owner said that I was the 5th sparks to attend as the others had either not turned up, initially turned up but then disappeared or appeared overwhelmed by the challenges involved.

Are modern sparks incompetent, lazy or just useless?

    I have an opinion that because of the current mass of 'one man bands' pita jobs get little or no responce, I blame the domestic installer schemes for the ammount of one man bands and therefore the lack of micro businesses that would have tackle this type of more awkward project in the past.

    It's also very easy to set up as an electrician one man band business. Then cherry pick the work and offer no general public or community service.

    But in defence the client may be the problem here 

    Gut feelings may have sent up some red flags.
