Unbelievable

[White Room]

this thread should be re-tilted, 'believable' because we are seeing more and more and more of this. shame really because there's so many good reputable tilers out of work at the moment...wonders what makes people go for these kind of cowboys? cost maybe?

She did know that the tiler had'nt done anything to big and done the job on 3 following sundays...price

 

[Dougs Third Go]

dunno about "picking the bones out" Mark....more like filleting the bugger would be better.

Makes you wonder how much of this goes on?? I was working with a couple of blob artists last week who have been tiling for 30 years.

so they let him loose on a quartz floor ??......beggers belive really!! good tilers short of work, and mr blobby gets 90m2 floors, just about sums up everything thats wrong with this trade...infact most of the building trade...

 

[DHTiling]

This customer called me direct and I told him mark was his man to retile it .

 

[charlie1]

If this happened to me, id probably never let a tiler loose in my house again and would opt for alternative floor covering! Not good for industry!

 

[Peter]

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

Why can't these people be named and shamed on here, I mean if they leave a job in this condition they deserve nothing less.

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.

I think, with all due respect Anne, that 'beams name would've popped up on the radar first due to the amount of time, energy and posts he's committed to TF over the years.

That's not the point I made - Dave recommended another Moderator not based in London - equal opportunities for vacancies should apply based on the pm sent to the customer from the registered members . I get lots of work from the recommendations that we have on the Forum and my tilers deserve a fair bite of the cherry when work is advertised.

Firstly i am not a Moderator or Admin .... the customer phoned me and asked if Mark ( Whitebeam) was a good tiler and i said yes most definitely .. not my problem if your comp was not selected and you cannot expect to win every job you pm looking for work.. simple as that and seen as i do not know you or your hubby , then i recommend tradesmen i know and who's work is top notch ..

I also said that if Mark was not available then they should ask Timeless John as he too is a top tiler and covers the London area , oh and is not a Moderator..
