I refer to my quote in a previous thread. The tiler is not always to blame. They can talk a good game but ultimately they are employed by the customer, and if the customer wants a cheap job that's what they'll get. If they don't get references, etc then they only have themselves to blame.

I don't understand why after you went to see them Dave, and provided a report, I'm guessing FOC, and you didn't even punt for the job, that they realised you were genuine and wanted them to have a good job done after the first shocker. These people really do need their bumps feeling sometimes.:mad2:
 
First time I've seen this thread not sure why i'm on here everyday. Thats got to be one of the worst i've seen these people need naming and shaming I'm sick of idiots not only doing bad jobs but steeling our jobs why are we not regulated yet. I had a huge argument yesterday with a plasterer/tiler about PVA he knows best coz he's a **** sorry going off topic.
