t.o.
The gas safe fitter was definitely in the normal realm of good - he just made a mistake [leaving us with a gas leak that the gas co came and fixed immediately at ~midnight]. Electricians were cowboys. Owner / foreman was money grabbing dishonest cunt. Decorators were honest but not given enough time/money to do the job properly. Tiler was good. Brickies caused the fight/police it turns out because they were not being paid, but we didn’t know that at the time.
He must have gone through sub contractors at a rate of knots, and therefore have been scraping the barrel.
Demand outstrips supply so much that you don’t need to be any good.
We hired a reputable company who were personal friends of friends of mine to finish it off, but it was very traumatic!
