LIMITED TIME OFFER

£0.99/mo for 3 months - terms apply. Offer ends 31 August 2026.

Danny Madden hears from tradespeople about their experiences working for people they know, from family jobs that have become complicated to mates’ rates, unpaid little fixes and the awkwardness of saying no.

Danny chats to carpenter George McKechnie, builder Noel Bardall and Fix Radio’s Todd Glister about the good, the bad and the potential pitfalls of taking on work for people close to home.

Is working for friends and family worth it, or is it sometimes better to keep business and personal relationships completely separate?
