Underpriced Job and customer demanding money!

You need to seek legal advise from A charter barrister etc my friend, you shouldn’t pay for any extra materials needed your a human being entitled to make mistakes. extra labour you should accept as a loss or at lower rate then usual. Unfortunately clients think they hold all the power here in the U.K. A point to note it’s only this nation we’re customers expect free estimates & quotes, expect us to pay for extras, expect us to provide the earth for peanuts it’s gotta stop. I’m charging for quotes now and I make it clear I’m not taking on risks like not having enough materials, not accepting rubbish as mine etc etc The clients need to understand it’s their project not yours, you are there too do a job not to inherit risks & stress. There needs to be a independent body set up by government to police this industry from rogues builders & clients I’ve been trading under my own name for nearly two years and I’ve come across my fair share of idiots & rogues customers I’ve nearly been in court arguing with somebody on how to correctly felt a shed roof like come on it’s a shed... Hope you get this sorted fella

seek legal advice, but get together bills for materials, estimate cost for extra labour, put in writing why it overran, out of interest why did it overrun ?,have you done work that was not on your quote, or been asked to use more expensive materials than you quoted for, write yourself a summery of the job so you can better understand what happened, they have to offer you the chance to finish the job or have a good reason to not let you if they intend to go to law, unfortunately the media is always coming down on tradesmen but if they made programmes about indecisive, slow paying, customers who want more than they want to pay for, there would be no time for anything else on tv, as bt roofing says, get to a solicitor.

Hello Mr. I don't know what job you did with this client who is doing corruption, if you did an excellent job get a lawyer for your right think. I hope you get the better of yourself, and get your money or your sweat wherr you working in that house.

The answer is great you get customers who no better than you after 40 years of trading in ground works they moan about little things and what to pay you half of bill (etc to many stones in 6mm surface course tarmac )it’s time the tables are moved to customer with them signing agreements which they will not I have tried it .best saying is I don’t no a thing about about building work than moan about little things keep your head don’t let them get you have a right to finish and put thing right
