The brick work on the extension was brilliant, the electrician (outside contractor) they hired left a lot to be desired. The brickie (who I have been told has since left them) did the best plastering and tile fitting I have ever seen.
The budget went from £80,00.00 to over £126,00.00 And we still have been charged for things that should have been included in the estimate or that we paid for. Estimates appeared on bits of papers and hard copies of the bills have still to materialise 3 years later! Due to planning regulations not all the work has been completed and though we should be able to go ahead now, and it has been already paid for, I doubt that the work will ever be finished without extra payments.
The workmen arrived on time, brought their own tea/coffee and food, so the 1000 tea bags I bought in were not used! They cleaned up after themselves and were reasonably circumspect in their language.
Now that the brickie has left them I do not know if I would recommend to anyone else.
