walked off a job today...

[Andy Allen]

i was doing a bathroom today for a plumber, ive done work for him before and hes been fine, however turned up this morning and this is what he wanted me to tile on....... the tiles are large format ceramic 500x300, he rang me yesterday to tell me all the prep was done ready for tiling....yeh right!!!!!.........the bit in the window reveal is the best, its a bit of mdf, not even fixed properly, if you press on it, it moves up and down like a yo-yo, he wanted me to p.v.a it and tile it.....:mad2:

pmsl, shocking prep,i dont blame you andy, im sure some mugg will tile it

 

[dave l and l]

yeah someone will tile it, thats a disgrace leaving it like that. hope you manage to pull something else on

 

[Gazzer]

I would be inclined to give the home owner the low down on tiling.

 

[Andy Allen]

managed to pull a bathroom forward for tommoz.......still bugs me wasting a day...

 

[Stewart]

I'm with Sir Ramic on this one....... I would explain to the customer why you're not prepared to do the tiling on this occasion.

 

[dave l and l]

yeha i would let customer know why you are not willing. at the very least it might save them a few thou having to replace
i am finnished for week got to job yesterday afternoon no power no water in building, not getting sorted till weekend. idiots

 

[Andy Allen]

he said hes going to get it sorted to how i want it done, however hes missed his slot now,and it will be a couple of weeks before i get back, dont think his customer will be very happy, as there one and only bog was still on the landing when i left...:lol:

 

[Gazzer]

I would still have words with the client to get them on your side and show you want the job doing properly

 

[DHTiling]

Don't see anything wrong with it... clash on dear sir, you know tilers can get over anything..

 

[jay]

Wise move

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Andy, we all know there is nothing like a job well prepared, and that is nothing like a job well prepared. Lol.

 

[CJ]

Bit of extra muck........thats all it needs :ninja:

 

[Time's Ran Out]

A few extra buckets of ready mixed and you would have been sorted.

 

[jay]

Surely you wouldn't tile on MDF
