Tiling job
(Updated on 11 Jan 2021)I shortlisted Lucian for a tiling job because I was impressed by his photos, shortly after shortlisting him he called me enthusiastically to discuss the job. He said his prices start at £50 sqm which I said I was happy with over the phone and even if it is a little more expensive I’m still happy with that price range. I told him that I’d send him a photo after our call which I did and he replied with a quote of £75 per Sqm which is double the average London price and 50% more than his guide of £50. Given that the tiles I’m using are large in size it would not take much time at all, I was surprised but still happy with the price. We confirmed the date we agreed over the phone. the night before he was meant to start the job I messaged him to confirm that he was still attending and he told me that he isn’t interested any more.I had already booked plumbers and electricians to come in after him who I obviously had to cancel which led to a two weeks delay.We discussed another job I had and he said he was confused which is why he wasn’t interested.I put the project on hold after this event and planned to recommence this coming week. I called him today to give him a chance to rectify the inconvenience cause and he was very rude and sarcastic.
I’m a property developer and a member of a real estate consortium my tiler has just retired and i was using this small resi job as a trial as we have a new build block of flats due for completion Easter. He missed out on a huge opportunity!
