UPDATE!!!
Hi guys,
Its been a long time since the last update, so here goes!.........
After the decorator agreed to pay for the paper and do the work again (because he agreed it didnt look good), he went on holiday for 2 weeks. Then, when he returned, I went on holiday!
So basically, no work has progressed!
Then today, because I havent contacted him for a while, he decided to send me an invoice for the work he carried out!!!!
He wants £110 for half a days work!!!
In this half day (8am - 12pm) he papered the chimney breast (very, very badly) and also lined the small toilet room. This was also done badly, with gaps in the paper, paste on the window, sink and toilet itself, and some pretty poor cutting in around everything!!!
So, my question (eventually!!), is,
should I pay for any of this work that has been carried out, even though the chimney breast needs to be done again (and I have spent hours stripping his crappy papering) and the toilet walls need another layer of lining paper to make them look good?
Sorry to go on guys, but I have tried to give all the details!
I dont think I should pay as neither job was completed properly, and I have had to do more work to correct the mistakes and return the walls back to the condition they were before the crappy work was carried out!!!???
Thoughts please guys.......................
