I personally would not hire a handyman for anything! There poor at everything! As previously said bumslap, I hope you get this fixed and good luck with next guy

This guy has not got a clue how to set a wall out, i have seen some bad workmanship over the years but this has to be up there in the top 10. The best thing to do in the future is always make sure you have a tradesman who is recommended by a tile centre or by someone who he has worked for.

I personally think bumslap has been misled in a big way!! Lets be honest that if a chap pops round in a van possible sign-written, uniform ie. t-shirt with same names, logos etc. Lots of pictures in portfolio of jobs that arnt his who are we to dispute this... i would personally not keep sending each potential client around to the house of the last job etc to see the work, because if i was a customer i wouldnt want random people keep knocking at my door to ask to see my kitchen, bathroom etc. It really is a situation thats a difficult one to solve and probably never could solve fully. What i would say though to any customers is ALWAYS check the work after each day and youll spot dodgy tiling straight away and refuse to let them continue immediately!! Trust is the biggest factor on the job and its a 2 way street, ie. that we can tile and they can pay!

At the end of each day I ask my customer to look at the work that has been done. If they are not then it's easier to change anything at that point than when the job is complete. I always make sure they are happy with the set out, where cuts are etc before I fix any tiles. Can save a load of hassle at the end!!

Here,here! The one thing I hate is when customers take no interest at all,come in at the end of the job and say ''Oh I thought you would have done that differently'' etc,etc,etc

The main thing is to ensure the customer is pleased with your work, its not hard to ask if all is ok and that they are pleased at how the job is going, I realise this is not always possible as the customer maybe away on holiday but your own pride in your work would never let you think of leaving a job like that.
I am sure this man has very little experience in the trade and by his work little knowledge of how to even start to tile. This is what gives real tilers and other trades a bad name it only takes a customer to have a bad experience in the past and the trust is that much harder for us all to build up with that customer.

Looks like a chancer to me. Was he a plasterer or a plumber saying he could do it all with grinder?
