Stack pipe and waste pipes sorted out
(Updated on 18 Nov 2019)Stay Very Well Clear and Do Not Handout Any Money Until Job is Completed as Agreed
We posted a job and he said will come to price it up. When he came we asked him to give us a price for few more jobs. He said will charge £160 to do all jobs and materials be supplied by us. Which we happily accepted.
Jobs included resolving a leak in the waste pipe because of an improper joint seal
Resolve the issue of slow running water in all water outlets
And finally change the shower door as it was fitted improperly and required turning it around.
He said it will take less than a day and the cost will be £160 plus materials at our cost and cheaper if he was to finish it in less time
Then he came to do the job at 9.30-am and 1.55-pm he wanted to go for the kids from school which was happily accepted, as he was going to leave he said he will leave the tools but then decided he will take the tools and think of a resolution with how to sort the problems and return next day. When he left he taken floplast air vents as well which he installed. He asked full money for the job which we said will pay at the end of the day as had no cash, he wanted cash only
Next day he came and just put a flexi on the pipe and said had to go to another job. He asked for money again and as he installed 2 air vents we thought of paying him £100 and remainders on completion
He has taken the money, taken the air vents too, never came back, left house without shower. Not answering phones & texts
Answer from tradesperson:
Mr Khan's final bill was £209 (his original estimate was £260) I had already taken £50 off the bill as I could not rectify a shower door which he had glued on upside down. He still had use of the shower. I wanted a bank transfer but he said there was no money in his account and gave me £100 in cash. After a lengthy conversation he started to act in a confrontational manner. I then walked away with 2 parts that I had paid for, to try and recover some of my costs. He said if I walked away with the parts, he would leave a negative review. I felt I had no choice.
