That seems to have done it thanks

I can't fully get at it but it looks like it has a metal nut inside the plastic but I may be mistaken

I have attached a picture from underneath our kitchen sink. We have an 1810 company mixer tap that occasionally works loose and I've only been able to hand tighten the plastic nut on the back. Is there a special kind of tool for this type of fixing or has anyone a solution that works better than...

Which is £250 more than he deserved!

He just quoted £600 to fit all doors. No mention of vat. Anyway he's really wound me up so he should be thankful I gave him what I did

Tbf he has a vat registration number on his invoice. There was no way he was getting it though

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated. I slept on it and have decided to pay him half his original quote, mainly because the doors open and close and the handles work! I emailed him this morning stating my dissatisfaction and how I feel about his workmanship Told him I would pay half his...

He also quoted 2 men for one day and he's spent approx 8 hours here on his own which is half the labour he quoted

This is how the latches are now. I can't say I'm happy with then still tbh or am I being over fussy? I'm tempted to offer him half his money and walk away from it. There's no way I'm paying him full price for that finish

I'll see what it looks like when I get home. He was there for around 2 hours. Missus seems happy with the end result but I'm not sure filling new doors one week after fitting is acceptable tbh.

Quick update, he's turned up! Unfortunately my missus home on her own, although she's feisty, he's claiming nobody's ever gone round inspecting his work in that detail and he's never had a complaint so not sure really what our problem is . He's said he's going to fill where he can which we're...

Out of interest, what would be a reasonable price to pay? We're in Peterborough if it makes any difference. The other 2 quotes we got were both £560 so maybe thsts the rate here

Thanks for the detailed reply. My question to him also would be the same, would you accept this in your house? As a sole trader I can't believe he's happy to walk away from it feeling like he's done a good job. If he's ****ed the first one up you wouldn't carry on and do the same with the rest...

Spoke to citizens advice today. We are within our rights to withhold 100% of the payment if we feel the job hasn't been done to a standard that is satisfactory and we are also entitled to claim for damages, ie new doors, if they are beyond repair. If he refuses we could go thru small claims but...

If he comes back Tuesday and we're still not happy with it obv we're going to withhold payment but if he refuses to supply new doors cos they're irreparable I guess we're at deadlock unless we decide to go small claims court, is that pretty much the situation. In all honesty I am anticipating...

I've just checked the tops of the doors that have been trimmed and they haven't been varnished so can only assume same applies to the bottom.

I don't want him back tbh but will allow him to visit Tuesday to sort out his mess. If he can't get it right first time I'm not sure how he will 2nd time round. I'm going to ring citizens advice tomorrow to see where we stand. The information on their website talks about getting money back from...

Pics attached. I'm no expert but on the face of it and in comparison to his other work I don't really have an issue with hinges. You may disagree? I appreciate that but combined with what I thought was a genuine recommendation it's all I had to go on

Yh frames are staying white. I'd said i will do any filling and making good where the old fittings were https://www.howdens.com/joinery/doors/howdens-dordogne-oak-pre-finished-door-obj-sku-family-die7060 these are the doors I will be visiting howdens next week. I'm assuming the manager...

Few pics of work on the frames too. Tbf he can't do anything with the cut outs for the old catches but surely he could make the new ones straight and flush. Also he's done what I think is a decent job of cutting the hinges into the door which makes me wonder why he couldn't do the same with the...
