i managing a fairly big project at the moment and hiring in some help combined with DIY.
I've got a Plumber in for 1st fix plumbing and UFH etc. The trouble is I was expecting him to get on with the job and yet several times a day he's asking me where to run pipes, take up floorboards for him and even go out and buy 'extra' parts. He also now said that he's not familiar with the type of smart home system I brought so not sure what will happen when we come to fit that I'll probably end up having to get some else in to connect it all up.
He seems reasonably capable but I feel a bit taken for a ride. Should I just tell him to get on with it and do the job I'm paying him for ( over £5000) or should a plumber not be expected to lift a floorboard to run some pipes?
