[Diamond Pool Finishers]

i cant believe the way they treat peeps, got a call last week from one with dimensions we gave him a price he accepted !! arranged a start date ,night before he telephoned me and says there is a problem with the edging tiles don't come then 2 days of me ringing and no reply ,so just rang the pool-company who recommended us !! they said he was having the job done now by somebody els,as i could not start quickly enough ,well the bloody cheek :mad2::mad2::mad2: then it make's it sound to the guy's who recommended me that i'am the one dithering :mad2: i really needed that job as well ! just when you think you can't get any -lower somebody gives you a spade :mad2:

I try and stay away from builders now...They always want a cheap price so they can stick a large % on for themselves. And nothing is ever ready..They always want a weeks job done in a day...Your always holding other trades up (Not)..When customer moans that jobs are taking to long to get completed..Its your fault, when things go right the builder takes all the credit for it..

i think he was just keeping us in the frame on hold as an option ! while he waited for confirmation from somebody els then started them as they were probs cheaper !! gutted i just seem to be having problem after problem at the moment........

one builder i work for is giving me the run around on payment at the moment 2 partners in the company one claims he knows nothing what the other one does when it comes to finances ,i am getting so fed up i will go direct to the customer soon as she has said she will pay everyone directly if this clown hasnt coughed by the weekend

i think there is a lot of trouble all round for everyone at the moment, just seems all the rules have gone out the window,when you try to be honest and straight -up and you keep getting -on it makes me think mybe if you cant beat them you should join them ,and be hard on others as well!!........

well not sure if its any good persevering with calling this builder !! just want to tell him what i think of his handling of this ,why are there so many peeps with a bad attitude out- there ?

Just working with a builder friend of mine. He's repointing the house while I do the wetroom. He got rained off this afternoon and rather than go home he carried 40m of tiles up 2 flights of stairs for me....What a decent chap


I'm just waiting for the invoice :lol:

OH yes there are some great builders out there as well !! its just a few bad apples IMO but there seems a few more about at the mo,when everyones scrabbling for money , i will have to take a look at who we get involved with and be a bit more picky rather than just take any at face value lol.......
