You have only got to look at the media news coverage of domestic and industrail accidents gas explosions, walls collapsing, etc These accidents when found to be caused by poor workmanship are always caused by the professional tradesmen who carried out the work

The reason why I do my own work is not because of cost It is to get a decent standard of workmanship Every tradesman I have had in to do work has always done a substandard job and I always end up having to put it right Perhaps I am to fussy and expect the work to be up to my standards
