Whatever you do, make sure you're completely happy before parting with the final payment. Years ago I had problems with the builder on our kitchen refurb, told them in writing what still remained outstanding, returned their final invoice and referred them to my previous letter, they did not complete the work so I did not pay the final £3k and, after a bit of a fight (as we'd taken care of the outstanding items) they wrote off the amount and cancelled the invoice!

This seems to be standard practice (I've suffered the same, rightly withheld money and paid for someone else to complete o/s work in the end). Why do some builders think they can pull this on us?

Grow up.


If you think you will get windows ordered and fitted without paying a deposit you are seriously delusional.

Last few window replacements, and last three conservatories were all cash on satisfactory completion, with no payment beforehand.

Local firms again...
