6pt is obvs taking backhanders

Yeah I feel he's a bit over the market – he was +25% for what I wanted done first time around, but pipped it for turning up when he said he would, actually getting a quote to me without being chased, and being so on it with the comms. I've definitely paid too much for my bathroom that he's just (well, almost) finished, but he knows what I want and makes it happen and I don't mind paying for that.

My builder itemises everything, does good work and answers phones, texts and emails, but always makes just a bit too much mess and isn't very good at timelines. Also, he's probably too expensive, but he doesn't like to not do things properly so I'm happy (ish) to pay. Used him twice now; the thought of having to find another builder who likely won't be better at the doing it properly or responding to messages is too much to bear so I accept his faults and pay the price.
