    Nightmare customer

    Went to look at a job for bathroom wall tiling in a lovely huge old house over the weekend. Lovely old guy, a professor at the local Uni, married to the nastiest piece of work I have ever met. You could see how she had sucked the very life force out of him. They showed me the field tiles and the...

    todays customer who knows best

    went in to silicon gap between floor and tiled skirting today and customer said grout would be better! won't bore you with discussion that took place, but when you are waiting for a big cheque the customer has the last say. He has been warned!

    Customer comments?

    So I'm working away today and the old boy I'm working for comes in with a brew for me and say's '' You may be slow but your work is tidy'' :lol: I didn't really know what to say to that other than ''thanks'' Anyone else ever had comments that made them laugh?

    appreciative customer

    Went to clear a room and take a carpet up this afternoon for a customer who is getting Karndean down tomorrow. Not my gig, but she is one of my 'good', customers. Even though I didn't need it she sent a text a few mins ago saying 'thanks'. A simple text and all these crappy customers that we...

    customer is always right?

    My latest album pics, my customer had seen a chequerboard mosaic. It was 300mmx300mm but the price was incredible. So I sourced a cheeper mosaic, only problem was it came in 300mmx300mm black and 300mmx300mm white. Not chequerboard, so I had to cut sheets down to 50mmx50mm pieces. What a pain...

    Stone Floor North London - one happy customer

    Not sure where to put this post as the original request for a tiler is now closed. Anyway I got about half a dozen responses to my request and, once the screed had dried out, the job was done last week by Diamond Tiling Company of Nantwich (Crewe). Prior to engaging Diamond Tiling, Dominic had...

    How's this for customer service....

    After persuading a customer against ordering her tiles from another supplier because of delivery doubts I put an order in with Topps about 3 or 4 weeks ago for 80m2 Zamora 60x30 and 22m2 Zamora 30x30. Made it quite clear, although unnecessary in my mind, that I needed the 60x30 tiles all in one...
