Lol I am with safecontractor, good to hear they pay on time

Do you have a ongoing agreement or do they put it out to tender!

i do a bit for them.

payment depends on your individual property manager if they have funds in that site you get paid but if they dont they keep you hanging on, ive one job which is 9 weeks since inv.

all property companies are the same......  a pain in the arse i packed in johnson cooper a few months back they were good for 2 years then really started messing me around owed me 3k for 4mths

Many thanks chaps, some good and bad, its a pain as we have waited up to 7 months on some blocks that we do for the last company (david glass association / wood managment) problem is each block has it own acount and if funs are not there we dont get paid!

They pay me 3/4 weeks after invoicing,always been very good.
