Hello all - took on a new lad for a job on a garage conversion, not sure how direct to be on feedback. Not a plasterer by trade myself.

Added a few photos… edge around internal door not fully filled filled in, looks like one coat only in some places, been lazy in getting into harder to reach places (not too hard to reach, just top of a slightly curved wall) / looks like he forgot to finish off some bits entirely.

he wants paying of course too, I’m going to give me half of what was agreed and tell him he needs to go back and finish.

What do you think?

he got the whole lot done in a day (including d & d) to his credit, but quality in places is missing.


about a 1000 views lol

plenty of rough cuunts out there mate
 
There’s more too it mate. I had a proper builder in to take on and manage the entire project - garage conversion, nothing insane - started off brilliantly, got half way, but now he’s gone belly up (even longer story) and taken my money with him. I’m 5 grand down on what was meant to be a 12 grand job. So this lads drops me a message saying he can finish my work, verified on MyBuilder, so I gave him a shot as his previous work looked spot on.
Did he put that price in for 1 day skimming it all?
 
If
Video of the whole job… I am thinking I don’t even get him back in but just find a better man for the job. Question is how much should I pay him for his effort. He did graft all Sunday.
he is on this forum he should leave now. I’m not normally brutal but that is awful,
 
Hey guys.

can I please get some further advice?

The lad is now threatening to come to my house and take his money out of the house if I don’t pay him.

Absolutely nuts, and don’t know what to do

Tell him to piss off,and you will call the police if he sets foot on your property,tell him professional plasterers have said how bad of a job it is,tell him he's free to take it to a smalls claim court but he doesn't have a leg to stand on his work is utter Shite and give him a bad review on my builder all u need to do is post them pics up

get the police involved soon as possible,
get a proper survey done of his workmanship/photographs etc,
send him copies ,
inform him you have reported him to the police,

Hold your nerve mate, your well within your rights.
As has been mentioned already if he comes anywhere near you or your property phone the police.
If it was me I'd get ahead of the game and phone 101 and let the police know that you've been threatened as that's an offence in itself, at least it will be logged on their system.

This, 100%. Can't threaten to come and rob someone's house

You say that, but communication like that is an offence and whether you think the police are useless is neither here nor there.
If it's already logged on their system you'll probably get more chance of a response if it ends in a 999 call.
 
Threats to cause criminal damage is an offence so don’t be fobbed off by “it’s a civil matter” also if he comes to your house 999 suspect is on scene and you are covered to protect you and your property with reasonable force if necessary.
personally I would send him the pictures and ask how he thinks that is acceptable and if he is still
A dick then destroy him on mybuilder/local pages etc
 
Just Pay A Proper Spread from DAY 1!!!!!, Then this S**t Show wouldn't even be an Issue, Although, for me it would of been a 3 dayer, takin the time it needs, to do a Decent Job
