In my opinion, Checkatrade, My builder etc gives the public confidence in using these sites. Recently there was a scandal where anyone can pay and be eligible for doing work they have never done ! Its all about money. You pay for leads. I would also like to say some people are genuine but be careful !!!!! I would never sign up for one of these. Tiler for tiling, plumber for plumbing as said many times before on here.

Thats the safest option, sorry

I appreciate your honesty. Can anyone give me a ballpark cost for the re-tile alone? It would the entire window wall, plus the concealed cistern, and boxed in soil pipe (it come's up from the boxed in cistern). We'd get a plumber to deal with the bathroom issues. Thanks for you help.

I would get the plumbing checked aswell, who knows what disasters have been boxed in/hidden and where did he put the spare grout and water sludge?

Oh, we've since discovered they washed it all down our soak away drain on our driveway, even though there was a 10yd skip right next to it:mad::mad::mad:

Will post the job up, thanks all for your help and advice

Irrespective of what their advertising says, anyone can decide they are a tradesman and sign up to these companies, and although I'm sure there are some happy customers, they are the source of loads of terrible work and workers.

Why would a good tradesman spend money getting work?
I'm always busy, I don't even advertise!

That's just some nasty tile work, luckily ceramic tiles philippines has lessen those kinds of problems. what can you say about that? is it the quality of the tiles fault or the one who worked on it?
