Dealing with a bad tradesman

I checked. No, not a member. Only one McLean, not him.

Who bought the sanitaryware?

Thanks Furts.

This has been a massive learning experience. I will have a rethink about it.

Your comment does not stand up to scrutiny. You are having a macerator installed.

I will try once more to help. Your builder has done six hour days and spun out the work looking on you as a cash cow. You in turn have colluded with this by not designing, managing and inspecting the work. You could have taken on professional help but have chosen not to.

The end result is a dogs dinner. i will be utterly blunt here and point out the obvious with your photos. Regardless of any reviews for your builder the studwork and plasterboard is absolutely !!!!!y - work done by a rank first rate amateur. That you have not taken this to task and got a grip of matters is something for you to ponder.

Sometimes being blunt and telling it as it is produces a lightbulb moment. Will this now occur with your situation?

Sit back and reconsider everything about your building thoughts.

If he told you he is member of the fmb and he is not, this is misrepresentation, and you could take this up with Trading Standards.

Do you have anything in writing about this claim, or any evidence such as a witness?

Thanks Annie. He says he is part of FMB in the myhammer website but when I searched for him in the website, I couldn't find his company details there.

I have the quotation from him, my bank transfer so far. Do I need more proof?
