Agreed job details and time span, Jamie pointed out it was a small job for him so no problem, our trip abroad not an issue. We were supplied a "contract" and asked for 50% cash payment up front, which we declined to do, so BACS payment made same day.
. Job started 4 days late due to two vehicle issues
. Jamie's father working alone for the duration of job and all trades
. Could not finish job before we left for Poland, 2nd. stage not even
completed (making build watertight)
. We paid 2nd. stage upfront but we were instructed to make payment
into a different account (Paul Hicks) we realised too late
. Returned from holiday to find build still not watertight
. Agreed with Jamie job would not be complete by Christmas so re-
arranged for after New Year - his father then persuaded us to let him
make roof watertight and finish floor
. Job was rushed and finishing poor - Jamie was advised by his father we
were happy
. Jamie continually hassled us for payment as his dad needed money
for Xmas but he was told I was not happy, listed jobs needing attention
. Tiles not square to room, plaster incomplete, holes in walls not
filled, wrong gutter, door not sealed,1 dryer vent not 2, vent put in
at a downward slope, Velux installation bodged (told by Jamie and Paul it
had been supplied without correct fittings - installed it anyway)
In summary we encountered poor timing, poor workman ship, questionable payment practices - not happy.
