i agree to an extent by my worry would be, have you had permission from the customer to spread their home on your website?..and that the mention of "multi-trade" is a bit unfair,as your generalising in a multi-tradesmen..we are not all like this! It would have been better stating a plasterer that thinks he can tile..as mentioned in the original post.

Andy does mention that he is a plasterer in the 1st paragraph, although it does need an 'e' and and 'r' to complete the word Andy :sofahide:

Hi Ian,
He did the plastering/plumbing/tiling/joinery?
So he's done a mufti-trade job!
Sorry if its offended you......
Andy
 
Hasn't offended me at all...but generalisation can be misunderstood...what amazes me is if he has done it all..how the hell did he think he was getting a connection to that isolation valve he's tiled over! I still cannot get my head round it all...he should be shamed as a tradesmen...I just feel it may be worded better to protect others like Alastaircage, bubble craft and myself...as we do much the same in terns of trades..but in a more professional way..well if like to think :builder2:
 
Are those that get offended andy having some form of guilt attack 🙂

i really do get bemused by your comments at times! ..I'm not guilty of work like that..professional tiler or not...

' and I'd go as far as to say my work has got more professional thank to this site.

Now did I quote you ?

No. So where is the guilt now. 🙂.
 
I don't think anyone on here has a problem with multi-trades. What they do have a problem with is people who profess to be multi-trade, when they may have stuck a few 10x10s on a splashback at home, now means they can go ahead and tile a full bathroom or wetroom. Half the problem they have is that they don't have the correct tools. They would not go out and maybe spend £2-300 on tools and only get one job, so therefore they are NEVER going to get the same finish no matter how multi-skilled they are!!!

This applies to ALL trades. Ok so I could put an additional socket on a ring main in my own house. Would I do it in a customers? No I would not. If I was Part P, different matter, then I would be qualified to carry out that work

agreed but its not fair on capable multi trades that contribute here, leaving me aside, that are tilers that plumb etc...and are dam good at it...Alastair to name but one..I'm wondering if there is a hint of jealousy from pro tilers that feel the need to attack some because they can multitrade..including having part p...anyway we diverse...time for my lasagne and cider..then a kip ready for a bathroom refit tomorrow !
