Just because you're in the trade and you understand what: 2days for 2 of us at £140 a day means, doesn't give you the right to judge me in thinking I'm finding joy in shafting two decent guys, because they are truly decent fella's and would recommend them ten times over. Trust me, it's...

That's a very one sided conclusion you have there. I'm the one who has paid him a extra £100 after all of this. What you're saying is that I should pay £210 on top of the £350 for his failure to communicate in straight forward English? If I had known from the start that 2 men were going...

I initially thought it was 1 bricky and 1 labrorer for £140 a day. It turns out I was supposedly paying for 2 bricky's at £140 per bricky per day. Crazy stuff i think.

I'm fairly confident in my arithmetic, thank you though. My concern is that he quoted. 2 days for 2 of us at £140 a day. His wording is completely ambiguous and it is not unfair of me to think that he was working for £140 a day, which if we work out 2.5 days is £350. Now if he had...

Nothing changed, it was as described in the quote. A front wall, and steps with slabs. Word for word this was his quote or rather text. 2days for 2 of us @ £140 a day. so with that wording I've got in my head £280. He did the whole job in 2.5 days and I paid him £350. but he...

Thank you, yes, I figured that out later on but wasn't sure if it would actually work so you'll probably find a request from me anyway. Thanks though.

Damn I think i posted this in the wrong section! How do i move it please.

Hi all, I had a quote to do two things, a brick wall and some rear steps, the price was agreed but it was a little ambiguous so I've not paid the additional and would like your opinion on how long these two jobs would take and at what cost. Edit: it's worth noting that im not an unfair...

If same cover suggested above then I'll do some research, just hope its not a ballache to fit!

I'm not sure who did the brickwork as it he was hired by the PM. I think it's pretty naff too if that's where you are going with that hah The soak away is just shy of 5 mtrs from the building. I guess the cover is so people know the pipe is there or is there some other bizarre reason for that?

Hi, maybe I know the answer to this already however I would like your opinion. I've dug a soakaway 5 meters from my extension and started filling it with rubble, maybe not the best way to construct one but it is only for a small rear extension. Anyway, my dilema as seen in the photos...

Hi, Don't get me wrong I tried my utmost to get the leccy back, he's not a bad guy its just hes associated with my previous builder but I said I didn't have the money to pay him £1500 so I offered £700 as a "meet in the middle" agreement but he flat out refused. I know we're both in a...

I called the electricians governing body NAPIT and they attempted to contact this guy and ask him to sign off the work however he is flat out refusing and therefore they can't get involved. So I then spoke with Building Control explained the situation and they reckon I need not reapply nor...

Hi All, Went through a faily biggish renovation, paid the builder in full but then builder failed to finish and failed to pay the electrician in full. Obviously then the leccy wanted us to pay an additional £1500 to complete the works and said that he was the only one that was allowed to...

Hi, Just querying the best way to approach getting quotes/estimates. I've taken the time to write a semi-detailed list of what I need doing in my renovation. I've asked numerous builders to come over and quote me for the work. I've had a couple estimates back sumarising the list I've...
