liability??

[tops111]

Finished a job for a 'pal' last week. 15sqm porcelain 600x300.Absolutely loved his bathroom after,even his grumpyarsed wife did aswell.Conned into removing old tiles,replasterboarded,primed,layed,built bathframe to tile aswell,disposed of all old tiles.All for £400 inc mats( f****ing love jobs).Rang me three days later to say id knocked waste pipe on toilet and had been dripping and has wrecked his amtico floor.Wants £200 for his floor and £50 to pay plumber to fix, what a pal eh!. Lesson 1.never take off other peoples tiles. Lesson 2 Never do jobs for property developing pals,theyre such f***ing tightarses.lesson 3 Get liabilty insurance when you first start upo and dont put it off! Anyone know a good company CHEERS!! got to keep smiling:wink_smile:

sounds a great m8 eh?

tell him to sod off, 'property developers' worse than estate agents

As Above.

Tell him to sit on these and spin

love that term 'property developer'. To me that translates to 'im crap on the tools so I just bark orders at everyone else'.
£400 for all that was bloody cheap anyway and now he wants £250 back?
Id have stopped calling him a mate a long time ago.
A bit of water dripping shouldnt really affect amtico anyway I wouldnt have thought. (unless he paid crap money for that aswell!)
My Public Liability is £65 a year for up to £2million cover with a local broker. Get some!
Good luck mate.

Topps111,try this company,INSURE MY LIABILITY 08454505360,as i said on a thread yesterday,most of us on here should get tilers insurance and General maintenance cover especially to cover events such as yours.my cover was 113quid for 1mil worth of cover for both.Ask for Adam.I hope you get things sorted m8.

I guess if you did knock the pipe and that caused a leek and has damaged the flooring then no matter how cheep a job you did then your liable for the damage im afraid.

I know your right. Just fancied a whinge coz hes tighter than a frogs arse and got tons of money.Anyway cheers lads for ins advice,should have done it before. Lesson learnt eh!!:wink_smile:

Wish I could get 50 quid for fixing a waste pipe leak. (new pan connectors start at about 3 Quid) Your (EX)mate is a con artist.
