Almost every tradesperson I've ever employed has done a crap job. I have trouble calling it "skilled work"

- soco 2y agoUnfortunately you're quite right. Maybe because those workers are also "trained" to see what they do as unskilled work, like everyone else says? So unskilled work is what they deliver. Now if only the society would give proper attention and value to those jobs... Edit: I'm also a diplomed electrician, but I have never practiced and would not even dream to practice nowadays without proper updated training. I guess not everybody is that self conscious, because hey it's unskilled right, so here we are.
- switch007 2y agoThat's hilarious I hear them in pubs bragging about how great they are and now people need them etc. They're anything but downbeat They deliver shit work because they know they can charge high rates regardless, because of lack of DIY skills and lack of tradespeople. There's not enough competition - bring back the Polish I say.
- pixxel 2y agoSounds like you don’t have a network of friends/family to provide recommendations.

- AlexeyBelov 2y agoSo what if they don't? It sounds like a dunk on them personally.
- switch007 2y agoIndeed. I was forced out of my home town to much further way due to the actions of successive governments to over-inflate house prices. Thank you for reminding me. Stay classy
- rrwo 2y agoDepends on how much you're willing to pay and how long you're willing to wait for them to be available. The best carpenters will be making custom furniture and wood panels for mansions, and have multi-year waiting lists. There are tradespeople who are excellent and available to mere mortals, though. But there's often a waiting list, and you may pay more. (I've had the best luck with auto-mechanics.)
