A while ago we had builders in to redo the kitchen. Since paying I have noticed a few things which I'm not happy with.
1 - I took the front off the light switches on a wall they replastered. I can see the old wall paper underneath, meaning that they have plastered onto the old wall paper. Presumably this means that when the paste holding that paper on gives up, so the plaster will fall off the wall.
2 - We had a utility room built. The door frame he put in is falling to bits. There are huge gaps in it, too big to fill with wood filler etc.
3 - He laid a floor which cracked. We got him back to relay it. It now has a significant slope in it in one corner of the room.
Does anybody know how to handle things like this. This guy was recommended by the company we bought the kitchen from and was supposed to have a really good reputation. The electrician who we had on the job who has worked with this guy for years was shocked at the quality of the job he had done on our kitchen.
I'm not happy as this has cost about £20k and is full of niggling little faults.
