Anyone come across these guys? Customer had a compliment slip put through her door that looked like it was hand written, saying we are doing your neighbours property and wondered if you would be interested in a price? But i had another customer that also had the same compliment slip put through the door, and on close inspection it was printed.

Yes i did a job last weekend...gutters ,fascias etc and the next door neighbour asked me to give her a price for wipeing the gutters down as she had had bens gutters come in to clean the gutters but they did not wipe the exteriors.....i dont see that as a problem,they may have just given a price to clean the outsides,but when i got up the ladders to wipe down an awkward area that i couldn't do with the pole i saw that they hadn't even cleaned the insides properly.They were a real mess. >:(

I also have one of their leaflets (compliment slips here) and i find it strange that they write hello over their telephone number so you cant read it,but they print their mobile number in the message.They obviously travel from area to area picking up work. ::)

How long does it take you to put out 10k? i mean if it takes 5 days then surely your behind on your work????
