So, i realise now that I've made a big mistake getting this builder in to install my kitchen and bathroom. What I need to know is where I go from here and what I do next? My brother said he could get another team in here to take out the units and reinstall the kitchen properly and to fix and...

Many thanks for your advice. My brother will be doing all the enquiries etc on Monday and has already informed the builder not to continue. My brother has also found out since that the builder has made nearly 5k on the kitchen units. This seems a lot being that it was me who designed the...

From what I hear he is planning to retire to Spain in the summer and his son will be taking over the business. When I asked for a receipt this is when he became very aggressive so I had to ask him to leave. To be honest I am quite fearful that he and his men will turn up here one night...

I can't tell you in here what I would like to do but I guess I'm going to have to learn by this mistake and move on.

Yes. He took me to a house in the village. I guess I didn't really pay attention to the quality of the work- just the overall appearance. However, yesterday I spoke to one of the residents in the village who recommended him and she said the porch he built for her was leaking for several months...

The builder has asked for nearly 3k to install the suite ( labour). It was a straight swop. This didnt include the labour for laying the floor tiles or the tiles on the walls. Thats another 1200 for the wall tiling and another 500 for the floor tiles. Thats nearly 5k labour plus I supply the...

The tiling is not right. It should be half white at bottom with blue masaic on top after row 2. Note the tiling to side of toilet doesnt match.

Are these mitre joints professional?

All the Mitre joints are bad.

Thanks very much for your reply and comments. I guess I've been a complete fool in some ways. I contacted the builder because he was recommended to me and that he lives in the same very small village as me. After I explained what i wanted he said it was know problem and that he was a master...

I phoned the Master Builder Federation he claimed to be a member of and they have never heard of him. Ive investigated even further and have now found out his company was registered in 2014 and no accounts have yet been submitted . His 'gas- safe ' plumber is not on the gas-safe register. I am...

Light switched left exposed for days.

Thanks very much for the replies. I don't believe I'm being 'picky' but I just want the workmanship to be as good as he and his builders made out to be. I'm definately don't make out I'm some kind of expert but I do recognise bad workmanship when I see it. I haven't mentioned the bathroom as of...
