Mr Paul Cutler may be able to do his plumbing and electrical job but make sure first to have a written estimate, itemising what he should do and every cost, otherwise you could end up like me being asked £200 for 2 hours work in total AND he did go up and down my drive very slowly a lot of times to his van for tools!
Phone estimate was £60 for gas safety of the boiler and the sitting room gas fire and £40/hr for lighting work. He fitted a lampshade, a light switch and two wall lamps but £200 can't be explained, I did not feel to challenge him as I was alone at home, just gave him a cheque.
I know for a fact that when I paid a third party for gas services he was the one sent and was doing a very quick gas safety checks, filling a form at the end, that's why I knew Mr Cutler.
Instead, this last time paying him myself, when he finished the job he got a laptop and a printer out, again going up and down my drive, and I even offered him a cup of coffee, little that I knew I was going to pay for this time too!
By the way, as soon as I was distracted he started to dismantle the pretended coal from my fireplace, and I NEVER asked him to do it and he never asked me first. He so wasted 20 minutes or so for a not required not wanted job that in the past he never mentioned. read more
