    What the customer heard

    Does anyone else get customers like this. What you say versus what they hear? "That needs priming" "Throw some pva on it" "You will need white flexi adhesive for those tiles" "I'll get the adhesive for you my mate can get it cheap, he reckons I just need the grey stuff, and it's cheaper"...

    Poor customer service

    Just thought I would let you know about my experience with wallsandfloors.co.uk, so you will hopefully think twice before using them.
