I am the main (tiling) contractor so its down to me to sort tax out,the reason i got a part payment was because i had never worked for him before,and from what i can gather while he is a nuiscance he always pays.
Am not the only trade he has tried it on with ,the guys on site have told me he does that but then always pays(same as all builders i have ever worked for),they try and find a chink in your armour and if it works they are quids in,am too long in the tooth to fall for that crap,first cheque has cleared today ,dont forsee a problem.
