A&A services

Was good at first. Some mistakes were made that cost me time and money, where I had to replace items. I over-looked these as Alex was quite helpful with some additional things, but he then refused to rectify a flooring job where tiles had shifted.

I paid him to lay flooring, fit a utility room and powder room. One or two mistakes made were rectified, eventually, although it took some friendly persistence. In balanced fairness, I acknowledge some helpful work e.g. filling holes in the kitchen walls before the furniture was fitted.

The issue is with the tiles in one area of the kitchen floor, not being cut to the correct size. The rest of the kitchen flooing is fine, it's just a couple of rows of tiles, but it's in the centre of the kitchen, so very visible.

Everyone who sees the flooring says I should get him to rectify it. He used the adhesive recommended to me by the LVT flooring supplier and blames the tile shifting on the adhesive used. Well, if this is the case, all he needs to do is supply the 'correct' adhesive and reapply the tiles that have shifted.

He applied the same tiles, but they shifted again. When I asked if he could rectifiy it, he started talking about court - so left field! which shows me he didn't intend to finish the job although he said he would within a couple of weeks after finishing another job.

This is typical of some workmen who don't want to finish a job, if they've been paid already. I even rounded up the payment. Lesson learned!
