Hi
We are having new feather edge fitted in back garden. I know this is expensive and will make up a considerable percentage of overall quite. (Also having other garden work done) The contractor asked for £450 to cover purchase of wood from his supplier. I paid this as thought it was reasonable request. We are having job done next weekend and was discussing earlier with the adjoining neighbour. She was gobsmacked when I said I’d paid for an element of the job upfront. “Why on earth did you do that?, I’ve only ever paid for fencing and similar jobs when completed etc”..
I know you’re comments will represent contractor so wondered what the consensus was?
Thanks
