looking at all the other houses on my estate it just looks dog rough to me.. :? as already stated he has already had 2 warnings about things being left rough or substandard finish and had to redo. If i went to a job to price it up and it was difficult it would simply take longer to do.. it...

spur of the moment made up when joining :lol:

his reasoning for it being a mess like that was " its not easy you know". I am trade myself (obviously not a brickie though!) if i gave that reason for something looking a mess I wouldnt get paid anything for the whole job.

he was working from scaffold for the whole of the back section, initially he cut the bricks too low and all the rafters were sitting about 1 inch to and inch and a half low so he was allowed to redo.. after I marked up the correct height. He was told that the bricks required replacing. He didnt...

So do you think after looking at the photographs that the loose brickwork and ammount of mortar round the joists is acceptable ?... surely mortar isnt a suitable substitute for brickwork to that extent otherwise we would be building houses from just mortar... I could understand maybe an inch...

i could supply you with an unbranded island extractor cheaper, but you are likely to be too far away.

this is the builders second attempt at this front and back... on day rate by the way.. approx 6 days on day rate to build peak up on top of the existing single level garage wall which seemed a bit excessive to me considering I had all the squints done myself and supplied everything. as said I...

thats just it, the top rows and mortar round the rafters is so big that its practically falling off (in fact some of the bricks are !) towards the peak there are actually a couple of bricks with no mortar between the horizontal joint!

if you look you will also see that the bad brickwork and mortar bodge is actually lower than any soffit would hide unless its massive and out of proportion. Building inspector noticed that the rafters coming through the wall were sitting on approx 2 inches or more of mortar with nearly a full...

the majority of the brickwork is ok, and I have agreed to pay for it its just the final finish at the top of the wall, the bricks are no where near the rafters coming through the wall so I am going to do it again myself, but dont think I should have to pay for the bodge up at the top. The mortar...

its just like buying a bentley or a mondeo, both will do the job but obviously you pay for a better quality finish and components. Virtually all kitchen carcass suppliers these days use a solid carcass and its unusual to see the old day of the hardboard backs and 12 -15mm carcassing without...

Hi, just wondering if anyone would be paying all the money for a job if it was left "finished" like this? Brickie insists its ok, bodged up with mortar, angled bricks not cut or anywhere near the run if the eaves, again, bodged up with mortar... I am trying to be fair, and have offered to...
