Alright lads,
Anyone had a cheque stopped for poor workmanship ?? I pride myself on doing a quality job, tidy up etc... and as of 1 hour ago my record still stood. Just got a call from an old mate (yes mate) who I have done £500 worth of work for this week and last - Lounge & Dining ceilings, couple of walls, landing and hall ceilings and the main bedroom re-board ceiling and skim
Pays me by cheque this morning as I was just finishing off commenting on what a great job I'd done - Bear in mind this is phase 2 of work at his property, already paid me 850 2 weeks ago so knows I can do a great job
Phones me an hour ago to say that the landing ceiling has a slight wave in it and he's stopped the cheque - Hold on I thought, the landing ceiling was only 60 quid, seems a bit harsh to stop it all for the sake of a wave ??
I apologised profusely and offered to go back tomorrow first thing to take a look and rectify it
'Not gonna happen mate' he says. 'I'm getting someone else in to rectify it'
If it gets messy, isn't he obliged to at least let me go round to see what he's moaning about ?? I'm more than happy to sort it out but he's not even giving me the chance to go round ??
I've now got to wait until the weekend when he has supposedly got another plasterer in to tell him ow much its gonna cost to fix - I feel like I'm on Death Row awaiting my fate !!
Was advised by a family member to follow up our phone call this evening with a letter just to help my cause in case it did end up going down the small claims route ??
Anyone else think he's out of order ??
