I know as i have just lost over 10 k of work to them
and was not even told of the change over , only found out today when we turned up to clean and the other guys were there

Did you have a contract with them?
And if yes what was your cancellation period?
You might be able to sue them?
Good luck

Post by: Andy@w.c.s on July 20, 2010, 04:59:00 pm: we have been cleaning with them for 8 years , and no we have not got a contract in place , it was a job we picked up that used to pay us out of the petty cash on receipt of the invoice
but that got changed a few years a go to an order system

strange thing is the guys that were sent down to do the clean came down from leicester and had to do one job that takes 2 men 6 hours to do and then go on to the next one that takes two days for 2 men to do and they have to do that today as well as a hotel in bristol

they were ok guys hungarian they said their boss lets them rent a house from him , he then supplys them with a van and sends them the work via email sounds like a bit of an outfit to me but if it works ?

the chap i spoke to was asleep in the van when we turned up as they had started at 3am to get to the first job
