B and Q launch fixing service

[johnryan]

just read their installation service page, it goes as follows;
2. Planning your bathroom with B&Q

It costs nothing to plan and design your ideal bathroom with the help of our professional design consultants.

• Guidance and advice through the planning and design phase
• Scope, design, product choice and financing options all mapped out

• 3. Our professional installation services
  
  When you’re satisfied that you’ve chosen the perfect components for your new bathroom, we’ll take it from there. No need to ring around; we cover every aspect of your fit, at every stage.
  • Start-to-finish local project management
  • Home survey and building regulations advice
  • Delivery, fitting, plumbing, tiling, flooring, plastering, electrics and joinery
  • We only work with accredited, qualified and experienced trade professionals; and with 15 years’ experience – and over 500,000 rooms fitted – you’re in safe hands with B&Q.
  • Payment protection from beginning to end
  • Experienced and qualified trade professionals
  • A market-leading 5-year workmanship guarantee
  • the usual guff from big companies like these, but if they're giving 5 year warranties on their work then i bet they'll get a lot of work, as most people have no idea when choosing builders etc. they also sell prepayment insurance policies with the service too

Let them try. Again another ill conceived idea which will last 3 to 6 months. Hopefully they get all the "dot and dabbers" out there and leave us to do the real work. I certainly will not be going to any job they have completed to put right. Can not wait to get the posts on their after sales service. Come to think of it their customer service and knowledge is poor anyway!

i did some work for a plumber who took on the full install on b and q bathrooms, tiles
were all sizes ,never enough or way too many, plumber was forever chasing missing items, i jacked it in cos too much hassle, theyll be some ructions when they start fixing the tiles that pitcure frame, hold the grout to leave residues ect, have more lips than jagger,some people dont know when they are getting a crap job so 8 of 10 will accept it,
thats what we are up against

B&Q Homefit provides customers access to fully qualified and vetted local tradesmen at pre-agreed fixed prices, removing questions about working with unknown tradesmen. B&Q will be charging a minimum of £39 per sqm for tiling.

:yikes:

B & Q will be charging the customer £39/ sq mtr, at least. I wonder how much the 'tiler' gets?

I took these photos a few weeks ago in BnQ & forgot to post them.


I can't wait to see some of the work.

I might get them into mine as I've got my bathroom to do & it would be funny to get a quote..
