You may remember a while back I said I was having to to put right some work a "tiler " had done. In the end I have told the client that it would be easier to redo the bathroom, I tried to say the same with a wetroom but they only agreed to have the floor which had no falls to the outlet which itself wasnt water tight any way.
Anyway I knew the "tilers "name, today I was talking to a friend of a friend and tehy found out I was a tiler and the usal story unfolded...." Had I know you before, you could have done this job that I am having done"
Well one thing lead to another and they told me the "tilers" name, i stopped them and gave them some info that assured them it was the same person. They agreed and then said that the "tiler" hadnt started as yet but was due to start in the next 2 weeks.
Just so they knew I wasnt jealous etc I gave them the contracts managers phone number, while I was there they called the number and spoke to the contracts manager ( I knew he would always answer his phone) . Well he was no where near as polite as I was about the quality of this "tiler" and also informed them that he was being pursued through the courts for the costs of what the client had already paid him.
Needless to say this " tiler" wont be getting this job but what is annoying is that the shop that recommended him is a high profile store in this area and they said his attention to detail was perfection ! Goes to show its not what you know but who you know !
