Nobody finished yesterday's Daily. Here is how each job should have gone.
One wooden sill on the front bay window has rotted through. Customer wants a like-for-like repair, not a full replacement.
Why: Quick repair, low materials, and a happy customer who'll recommend you to the neighbours.
Nobody answered this one yesterday.
Storm knocked a few tiles loose on the front pitch. Customer can see felt exposed. Wants it fixed before the next rain.
Why: Quick roof repair, good callout fee. Easy access assumed. Check for any other loose tiles while you're up there.
Nobody answered this one yesterday.
Customer locked out at 9pm. Yale lock, no spare key. Says they can prove they live there. Wants non-destructive entry if possible.
Why: Bread and butter locksmith work. Quick, high margin, grateful customer.
Nobody answered this one yesterday.
Customer bought a wardrobe, two bedside tables, and a chest of drawers from IKEA. Wants them all assembled in one visit.
Why: Easy money, no materials. Four pieces is a solid half-day. These customers often have more work later.
Nobody answered this one yesterday.
Old felt flat roof on a single garage is leaking. Customer wants it stripped and replaced with EPDM rubber. About 15sqm.
Why: Good day's work with decent margin. EPDM is reliable and easy to guarantee. Just check the decking underneath.
Nobody answered this one yesterday.
Manhole cover at the back of the house is overflowing. Sewage in the garden. Customer thinks tree roots might be the cause.
Why: Emergency drain clearance pays well. If it's roots, recommend a CCTV survey as an upsell.
Nobody answered this one yesterday.
House was broken into yesterday. Customer needs front and back door locks replaced with high-security cylinders. Insurance claim pending.
Why: Important job, fair money. Use quality locks and provide a receipt for their insurance claim.
Nobody answered this one yesterday.
Customer wants softwood decking in the back garden. Ground is level but needs weed membrane and frame. Wants it done before a barbecue next weekend.
Why: Tight deadline and weather-dependent. If it rains, you're stuck. Better to negotiate a realistic timeline or pass.
Nobody answered this one yesterday.
Complete rewire needed. Old rubber-sheathed cables throughout. Customer wants it done while they're on holiday in two weeks.
Why: Big job, good money. Two-week deadline is tight but doable if you commit.
Nobody answered this one yesterday.
Customer wants to rip out old avocado suite and fit a modern bathroom. Tiling, plumbing, electrics all needed. Wants a fixed price.
Why: Big earner if you price it right. Don't go too low just to win it.

The range is the band the game scores against for that job as written. Real prices vary with the job, the area and the time of year, so treat it as a guide, not a quote. Crowd figures cover everyone who finished yesterday’s Daily.
