Landlord requiring help!

pretty much my thoughts, how did the builder think he had been given the go ahead to do a job in your property with an agreed price and agreed tiles shower etc and also how did he gain access?

Agree, something fishy! So, all we can gather from this side of the story is that a builder has done work and not yet been paid due to a "miscommunication" we have heard all these stories before from both sides. Who is right or wrong? Who knows!! But the guy is on asking for a rough price for work, I'd give you my price but not sure what good it would do you really. If I had agreed a price with client for work then at end of job they come back and queried my bill due to cross examination via Internet forum I'd be utterly furious. If your looking for excuse not to pay then I'd recommend you don't mention a forum, and just tell him the truth.

I dont think its so fishy. I do work for a builder that has keys to all his clients houses as he does all the maintenance .

By fishy I mean, there is another side to this story that's totally different from above... "Miscommunication" ... It's a bit fluffy!

I personally do not think there is anything fishy about it it’s just another one of those customers that gets a job done and then starts to look for ways to ether get out of paying for the work or reduce the cost of the work. Ether way it is out of order to go asking for prices to bash the chap that did the work with and getting them from people that have not seen the job the tiles or the adhesive so they will only ever be able to give a guesstmate at best.

If I had done this job & then the op queried the price then sorry I'm not monkeying about but my adhesive & grouts coming back off the walls..
If your tiles get damaged in the process then so be it!!
