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..:)

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!!........

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:
