Mantastic: I cannot ‘grow a set’ as that’s biologically impossible. I do however have a screw-on set which see plenty of use :D
Old git: We paid this tradesman the full amount he quoted us, on the day of completion, and prior to us realising the extent of his shoddy workmanship which only began to manifest itself once we began using the shower (water running into cracked grout, tiles separarating from the wall etc) On that same day, his girlfriend text to say we owed a further £297 for ‘extras’ he offered to help us out with the preceding week, but never once mentioned would charge for. we were never given the opportunity to opt out of having another £300’s worth of work done on our flat – our consent was hardly informed!
We have had several carpenters, electricians, handymen, plumbers, plasterers and fitters do work on our flat this past year, and all but three of them have been paid promptly and in full as per their quote or estimate, when work has been agreed by all parties, completed (not necessarily on time), and to the high standard of workmanship we requested on first contact. We do not pay for incompetence and poor self- and project management – who would? This particular tradesman continues to be uncontactable (he lost two phones while working for us), and has so far ignored our requests via his GF to get in touch so that we can resolve this issue with him.
We are renovating our flat, and have used upwards of ten various trades people in the past year to do work for us. Save but 2 of them, we have promptly paid the full quoted amount on completion of the work to the standard promised. On the 2 ocassions
