Unbelievable

[Pebbs]

The problem was Eduardo, it wasn't a 'tiling contractor' that did the work the first time around, the only reason they got it was because they got it on the submitted price. So it says it all really...pay peanuts get monkeys.

Lets get back onto the subject here though, I know Anne is upset about the 'personal recommendation' but Anne I am sure your company also gets work on personal recommendation all the time. Its a better system than showing a portfolio of completed projects, when someone is engaging a sub contractor to do works they need to be assured they have the right person for the job. In this case it was a job that went rotten, so even more importantly it cannot go wrong the second time around. Anne I take exception to the remark about you believing you have the best 'tilers in London' that is somewhat of a sweeping statement. There are many great tilers in London, but this is more than just a tiling job, the client is going to have to be baby sat all the way through, due to what has happened in the past. Did you seriously want to spend the time doing this?

I personally have no problem with personal recommendations, you win some you lose some.

I was trying not to open up pandora's box - I have said what i had to say on equal opportunities for work advertised and will not comment further on this.

I said we had some of the best tilers in London - I know you only use the best as well.

after skimming through some of your post, seems youv'e done quite well out of the forum considering your limited input, can't see as you have much to complain about really..

ever heard the saying ' dont bite the hand that feeds you'...:smilewinkgrin:

Do you know how deep the WUFH is? Will you get it all up with an SDS?

At the front door the screed is about 40mm on top of Kingspan, the bulk of the floor has'nt been checked though but she also told me that they had to lift the front door and frame so it fitted at that end of the floor.

did they pay the muppet..?

Yes Andy he had been paid from my understanding.

Who's paying for the quartz or did most of it come up cleanly?

All of it came up cleanly so theres a chance there'll be alot of Quartz for sale.

I also contacted the customer, as I thought that we could assist her to put it right and I was do dismayed that she had been treated shabbily.

We have some of the best tilers in London working for us and I am extremely disappointed that a Moderator has the ability to select "one of the boys" from outside London for a job in London advertised on the Forum

I am constantly telling customers who contact me, when I am unable to assist, to advertise their jobs on the Forum, because I thought it was open for all registered members to seek the work on their abilities - but obviously I am mistaken.

Disappointed

i think much has been replied about this with great gusto and in a respectful manner so I won't harp on but......


I live in Hemel Hempstead juction 8 of the M1, on a good run it would take 20-30 minutes to get to Collingdale where as you may know is where the job is located.

I have contributed alot to the forum but it dos'nt mean I am at the top of the list for any work that comes on here I just happened to be local and my name was kindly passed on.

Your comment was totally unnecessary and if it's about work then your more than welcome to do the job, no skin off my nose.

Regards

Mark
