Extractor fan put on the ceiling in both bathrooms but thankfully now noticed that there is no external vent to it.
Yet these cowboys are still trading and making peoples life a misery. Don’t know how the vermin scum sleep at night in their nice big posh home.

 At all the responses since my last post.
Got to stay calm so not to hinder the litigation process.
When in a position of naming these jokers then that I will.
If people are on wattsapp and wish to see horrendous videos and photos then if you send me a personal message I’ll happily pop them over to you when in a position to.
Better still you could send me an email address and I’ll pop e’m over when in a position to.
You will not believe that the devastation that has being left behind is at all possible.

It could be psychological
Maybe his mum ran off with a kitchen fitter when he was young.

Unbelievably small world.
The wife and daughter are on a first aid course today. She’s just phoned me during dinner break to say that the lady from Edit - ‘deleted name’ kitchen and joinery who had helped design my daughters kitchen is also on the course along with a manager from ‘deleted name’ too.
Turns out that she recognised my wife and daughter and during a discussion about this builder ‘who has to remain anonymous for now’ tells her that this builder in question has made a total mess of other kitchens too and customers have had to have their kitchens replaced.
Due to shocking work by this builder there is currently a family that now have no kitchen over the Christmas period as he has totally wrecked that one too when fitting it.
OMG...
I don’t know how they sleep at night in their lovely home.
Fcuking scum.

Alam bells started to ring when the builder ‘sorry cowboy’ approached me and told me that the lads he uses to lay the flooring ‘Indian stone’ in the yard would be coming on Tuesday morning to carry out the work. Told me that they were cracking lads, have always done him great work, sees them right and they push me forwards of the queue. Anyhow, up turn the lads and I thought to myself ‘I’ve known them for years as they’re off the estate and have lived here all their lives - same as myself’. Anyway, I get talking to them and asked how long they’d be doing work and known ‘insert name’ for?. Imagine my surprise when they told me that this is the first job and they had never met him before.......what chance has one got really when facing someone that is a compulsive liar to which he’s being found out to be a time or three.
Cannot wait until I’m in a position to name names along with an hair salon that he had permission for to convert an old petrol station into a beauty salon that his wife will be opening shortly which no doubt funded by the folk he’s ripped off and is continuing to rip off along the way.
The goading I put up with off this idiot is beyond anything that I’ve ever put up with. I put up with it because at that time he was surely aware of all the 3@115 ups he was making and was also aware that the only way out of the contract was that if I belted him one.
Vermin, scum.

Oh my life just no consideration for anyone or anything. Oblivious to it all in relation to the devastation they leave behind.

There's been an explosion of jack of all trade cowboys in the last couple of years, the sort that will quote absolutely anything including electric and plumbing, no experience, no insurance etc etc.
The same goes for these ****s that are doing tip runs etc, again no license, no insurance etc half of it gets fly tipped.

Why pay good money for the doors and do that crap for the structure?? 
Garden offices have been a pretty lucrative market since covid, some I've seen are no better than that but look pretty nice once the cladding goes on, wouldn't fancy being in one in a storm tho

There was a bloke called Cookie Wales that used to lay cobbles, his work was breath taking, always in heavy demand but he had to give it up because of failing health. Now he was someone I would've trust
Take your point about the setts but even then I'd be nervous about who'd be doing it.
Done a few patios in the past, might of considered doing setts myself if it were a few years back but getting old and weary nowadays.

I went straight into construction from school 1987 and have been involved with the industry ever since, we had an old dear living next door for eighteen years I used to cut her grass, clear the snow, pop to the shops for her she was the best neighbour you could wish for then she died and the house got sold.
It needed a lot of work as it was pretty much the same as it was in 1963 when the houses were built, a young eastern european family have bought it the day they moved in I was replacing the flat roof over the garage, Dana the father introduced himself we had a chat he seemed a decent sort he started asking who had done my monoblock drive, windows, roller shutter door on the garage etc.... he said as we were going to be neighbours it was nice to meet and he would probably call on me for some contacts as they were all mostly people I know in the trade then off he went, within a week there were footings being dug in the rear garden to extend the kitchen that's when the fun started he was using labour that were coming there after work and banging and jack hammering until midnight, I let it ride for a week but the straw that broke the camel's back was the jackhammer starting up at 6.30am on a sunday morning, being semi detached our walls were vibrating so I threw a pair of shorts on went round to his door which was open I tried knocking first then shouting but they couldn't hear me so I went on in and ripped the plug from the wall.
The concrete posts and kicker in the photo with the plastic panels I put up when Anne was alive had it all level lovely, he has dug that close to it that he undermined the kicker board hence why it's all dropped we've had a few run ins now, the extension over the garage and the gym started back December he's had about four different lots of blokes have a go at it so far not one of them with any building experience obviously I even thought about moving last year, if it's not workmen until midnight its four screaming kids and a yapping dog.

Proper cobbles can be a right mare of a job, granite setts are a cheaper and easier job.
I had to try and patch in a square meter ish in a belgravia mews with re-claim cobbles. some of em were over a foot long, others about 4 inches, I could see why Murphy decided to tarmac the hole instead

It’s unbelievable what you do see.
If you google in building trade tolerances allowed you’ll see some pretty awful images, even on new build houses.

To be honest I wouldn’t know if that’s 5h1te or not but it’s not looking too good to me.
Edit - Its disgusting and don’t know how they sleep at night. The father in law had tears in his eyes to witness such shocking work as he’s a retired builder and said that if he was 25 years younger ‘now 83’ then he’d have done everything.
Makes me sick.
