is this what you all are looking for?

Hi DIYnot-ers I have a looped ceiling rose in my bedroom which I’m trying to replace with a screw in e27 - don’t ask! Can’t get the circuit to work properly, Doh! Included pictures of existing, new fitting and current position. I seem to have tried all cable positions and the can get past...

here we are after the second visit, opinions please!

Not that I’m aware of, some of the first quotes came in at 20% more than this one which I’d accepted. I’ll have to beg to differ on that one. There was no existing upvc on any of my Fascias nor soffits before this work began. Update: tradesman has shown up to work this morning and begun...

Are you saying this refusal is to my advantage? Yes all communication is happening over email so have in writing “With regards to the independent contractor, they have been brought into the matter and therefore I require their assessment as this is key evidence in this dispute. I cannot do...

I have now had another roofing company inspect the work, and they agree that the whole lot needs to be done again. And stated “it’s a mess” Having communicated this to the original contractor - he has now redacted his offer to come and do remedial works without having sight of a written...

Quoted £2880 (excluding scaffolding) found on Mybuilder Just preparing to shoot over an email and some photos, any advice on specifics which I should be sure to include would be greatly appreciated.

Oh my gosh, thank you Harry! Can you help me with the correct language to use with the installer have this rectified and to mitigate my losses? The tradesman has had a 50% deposit upfront (allegedly for materials), and plans to return tomorrow to clear the rubbish and some left over materials...

More photos here if anyone can pick up what’s needs correcting Tradesman is asking to settle the bill and I’m concerned if I do so that there will be no incentive to correct these mistakes during the time frame that my scaffold is paid for.
