If I had arrived to give you a quote and you had asked me all those questions in that manner I would have thought immediately you would be a pain in the Arse customer and so I would 1. Gave you a silly price 2. Gave you a date to far into the future for you to wait 3. Refuse to pass on...

As would I :shock: :shock:

Totally unacceptable workmanship The guy does not have a clue. Got to ask though Why did you wait until he had done so much before complaining

As far as I am aware Vermiculite can be used as a loose fill cavity insulation provided it has been treated with water repellent.. However that said it is mainly used where a higher fire rating is required rather than an insulation factor

That's a bit different to your opening post though. - I'm planning to manage the trades myself, and have a little, but not a lot of experience in doing this. The reason is because I have the ability to get plumbing, electrics and roofing done pretty much for free - my Dad runs a building...

So what's in it for a good builder ??? 1. You are already using your Dads Contacts for labour and materials. So a good builder who has built up a good set of lads has to now use your lads and trust that they know what they are doing. 2. You want to run the show. but have no real...

If its on your account they will give you the same price from the other branch , Been there got the tea shirt etc. etc. The other guy has got the better price for one of 2 reasons 1. he spends more with Howdens than you do 2. He is known in the branch and gives Kickbacks to the staff...

+1 for the above post Simply put You have been told wrong. Slamming strips are fitted as soon as the door is final fitted in the frame.. If you are being told different the only reasons I can think of is there are none , They have been cut short or he's simply being idle as its taken...

Bad gas is the usual suspect and/or the cold but it could also be a case of you not pushing the nose hard enough the one I have does fire without the brads

De Walt and it comes with an adapter to use any other make

Other than not completing the trim there is nothing Cowboy about the work Perhaps its more a case of you and him not seeing eye to eye about things and the guy deciding he would be better off else where, Plain 1/4 round sized to the widest part would do as well as anything else Zinser...

What is the issue with them Are they single glazed and falling to bits, or is it simply a case of you wanting to change to Plastic . Have you thought of applying for a grant to Aid you If memory serves there is an Office of the trust in Aberdeen so perhaps you could start with asking them

So without even looking at the job the second guy has already called the first lot cowboys and now wants to get a better idea of how much more he can screw you for :roll: :roll: What exactly were the damp issues your mum was having prior to any works taking Place. Why were new doors and...
