Believe me he would not of undercut me that's why I will still be making money off half his fee , the customer works at the hospital he advertised on there internal Web with glowing references , the tiles should be a doddle to take off he used wicks own brand tubbed adheisive

If it was me I'd stand outside the room and slam the door shut quickly!!!
 
i dont no y people think that one man can do all the work im sick of seeing this and they undercut us then get away with it wen the job goes wrong

In a opposing example, Gus @ Coupleatools ( Bubblecraft ) is a multi trader and is very good at his job.

Cowboys in every trade.
I watched a bloke pebble dash a house near me,was a right mess,and after a year it's was thread bear(pebbles fell out,won't be right mix,no lime in it for starters) and the front had fallen off back to block work.
What did the house owner do,get him back to re render it ( and paid him) this time I watched him put It on and just rub it over with a sponge,then the house owner come out within a day of the 'plasterer'finishing it and painted it,it looks a right balls ,paint will be peeling off soon.
The bloody house owner is just as bad as the dodgy tradesman IMO,I priced that job but didn't get it cos I was to expensive .
