Just had a plumber round to unblock my drains. He was here for about 4hrs and originally tried to charge £1200... He knocked off 200 making it 1000 and I can't help but feel like I've been shafted although I could be wrong.

He used his rods in the manhole and went into my loft to push down, he also cleaned the pipes.

Used the camera rod thing to make sure the blockage was gone.

All I wanted was the drain to be unblocked. Is this all normal practise and is the price fair?

EDIT: Turns out they didn't fix the blockage and there was a fine print that said if they don't fix the problem then all I pay for is the call out fee.

Dyno rod are coming today for £250. So in short, yes I was being shafted.

Hi, bit of a long shot but got my AM2 coming up soon. I don't suppose anyone has the XS training videos to hand?

I've been looking to pick up extra work at the weekends/evenings for about a year now. I've had the odd job here or there but it hasn't been as consistent as I'd like. I've tried my builder but feel like it's a bit of a scam and I've emailed soooo many companies/one man bands asking if they need a hand or of they have any extra work but had nothing back.

Tempted to call a few agencies but I very much doubt theyll have much on at the weekends

I'm in full time work so I'm not super desperate but a couple of Saturdays a month would be nice
