Shoddy work giving tradesmen a bad name.

[Garfeild]

A little off subject but driving me mad.
RB2004 keeps quoting "lol"which Ive seen before on this site.
Please don't mock this old timer . But what the hell does it mean?

Laugh out loud

And its annoying when some people seem to have to use it at the end of every sentence.

You don't get plastic gas0pipe because it is legally prohibited, as, in the case of fire it MELTS

Yea so thats why cooker flex is all metal stuck behind a hot oven innit

It's still the reason why gas-pipes ( presumably up to the flexible connection ) have to be metal.

After reading all this thread, thought I'd put my 2p in from my own DIY PoV (I'm in no way a trade, Motherboards and harddrives are my trade!)

Personally I have no major problems with plastic and have used it myself and will use it again both for rads and general plumbing. I DO have a major gripe with all the fittings mind, why so bloomin bulky??? But I also don't have issues with copper (well except the price) and was taught at an early age how to prep a joint properly. (Dad was a plumber)

If on the other hand we had true Pex as someone has mentioned already and seen on the newer American/Canadian shows (I'm sure you know the one's I mean) I honestly think peoples opinions of plastic piping would change. From what I've seen and a good friend now living over there has told me, there's none of these stupidly bulky connectors and working with it is simplicity in itself but it also allows copper/plastic to blend together.

They give all good tradesman a bad name

They

* Stolen Cards from basement storage

* Broken Basement Fire Door

* Abusive messages by you or your staff

* You left the site messy and left derbies on public foot path as
pictures will show.

Let them selfs in and stole all my tools and accessories

As for the works ill refer to your quote and you have not carried out the
following so are outside of your own contractual agreement.

* Sand down shutters

* Mortens galvanised primer

* Use etch primer

* paint black colour

* use rust proof paint

* the use of Thompson's water seal after to seal areas from weather.

* You did not use I high powered water jet at photos will show that
old food was still under your paint.

* Did Not Wash and prepare the top of the shutter guard and paint
with industrial grey primer and repainted with industrial paint in the
colour Black

* As phots will show you did not use masking tape to prevent paint
from getting on windows and other areas.

* You told us 4 days but by the time of me asking you not to attend
it had been nearly 3 weeks and still nowhere near complete.



I had hoped for a reasonable departure as you have already had a total of
£350.00 which I feel covers you for the amount of work that was done
however I will be requesting a counter claimed the following.



* My full deposit back including extra paid totalling £350.00

* The full cost of and independent report by PAD cost to be
confirmed price will depend on time to inspect work and time in county
court.

* My cost for days lost sorting out your work and to find new
contractors cost to be confirmed.

* Due to their poor workmanship we will not meet deadline to
open on time so we will be asking for compensation for loss of earning for this
