Another customer falls for a so called tiler

[Gazzer]

Are BCT rated badly?

I don't touch anything I am not trained with.. If a toilet needs taking out or a rad taking off I call the plumber.. If not already made aware on pricing date.

It was just a guess but a good guess so work it out

As for Multi-traders (croft) ... If you are good at what you do & are backed up by references + take great pride in your work then I don't see a problem with any of it of course.

I personally don't take a certificate of course completion as a positive thing straight away anymore unfortunately..
Only because a local multi-trader to me has his certificates plastered all over his van and tells me I am wrong when looking at a bouncing wooden floor a while back on a job.. when I pulled the floor up, the joists in question didn't meet the internal walls!!
I later learnt he has no work due to such a bad reputation :lol:

LOL he sounds like a bellend. I'm not a tiler as my first trade and I know that bouncing floor and rigid tiles = disaster!!

Have just spent a whole day recently strengthening a first floor wetroom floor by blocking it solid with 4x2 timber before overlaying with 25mm plywood and floor tanking with decoupler membrane. There is no movement in that bad boy at all now but I am worried that the floor weighs more than the house!

This is where I stand too.
The pieces of paper I've seen don't mean much, but I guess he knew how to do things properly once!

I was going to use rated people or other but they were asking for 600/700+ for a year

It just goes to show that being on Rated People and other such listings is no guarantee of a job well done. However, it's easy to see how the general public are taken in by these sites.

I wonder who writes there feedback ?

The way is see it Rookery, is some customers think shoddy work produced by rogue tradesman looks fine,great etc...
So if they have paid for something which looks good to them even though you and I see flaws and sub-standard work they will right a review for the rogue's... (so they get away with it, with a tick!)
This is why I want to be part of the TTA, so I am properly vetted by people who know what they are talking about!

The TTA know what they are talking about? In their opinion they do.
