  1. Do they have a service every day then ? like i say the same 2 or 1 of the 2 are there near as damn it every day.

     

    the service intervals will be 6000/10000 miles , these type of vehichle are high performance cars, and they will clock up the miles quite quickly when in use with the police force ( obviously NOT when parked up having a service)

  2. A company I worked for labour only paid 1 hour per metre for pointing and 15 minutes per metre for raking out. The pointing rate is about right and it varies on the raking out. On soft mortar you can do more than 4m per hour but I had 1 job and struggled with a diamond disc to do 2m per hour. On domestic houses you can not just start at 8 and carry on until 4.30. There is covering up windows with polythene (angle grinder dust can cause sand blasting effect on windows) and blocking drains to stop them getting full of silt. Then there is putting sheets down to catch droppings and sweeping up. The dust gets everywhere! For the fussy customer or more so the fussy neighbour you can always hire an industrial vacumm cleaner and disk grinder with hose attachment but it will cost! Then there is the builders overheads for such a trivial little job. Be it an extension or a pointing job the Transit van still needs paying for! Loads of 110v leads, transformer, grinder and diamond disks dont come cheap. Also there is the outdoor work element. It can rain! This can cut your daily output and you still need to make the job pay.

     

    Anyway, some builders are in buisness to make it worth their while and others charge only for existance. As for the customer then you might just get what you are paying for or get a bargain. Who knows!

     

    Heres a cheapo, cheapo. Works with a set of ladders strapped to his car roof, no angle grinder and points only but cheap as chips. Ring Roger on 2346120. Cheaper than anyone on here and will still make more in a day than any of us.

     

    Quality :hihi::thumbsup:
