    It’s actually worse! Upon closer look earlier today, there were bolts and washers embedded in the screed. He didn’t even sweep up!

    I’m amazed at how many tradesman don’t have a broom or a Hoover. Just lazy. Only interested in getting out the door

    I always find it easier to grind down bolts and washers afterwards, rather than pick them up first, the time consuming bit is getting a good coat of primer on them

    I wonder if he put the screed down with his white stick. Looks like it

    If he’s worked in airports before he should have jumped straight on a plane and left the country because he clearly doesn’t do the job properly and cuts corners :D

    My flooring saga continues. After terminating his services, this is then the response I get. Apparently this is how it’s done! Thoughts???

    He's trying it on.
    I've heard some old school fitters using this method before but this is not the standard process, he's making it up has he goes along.

    Doesn't matter whether he's worked in dubai laying flooring for the rich or whether he's worked in Buckingham Palace, this is a cowboys lazy way.

    Has the other firm started already?

    Ask him if he planned on sanding the nuts and bolts flat too :)

    That’s what I thought. He mentioned something about F3 adhesive on concrete and that it’s impossible to take it up unless you do what he’s done.

    The new firm are due to come Weds to uplift the nasty screed. They were in shock when they came to visit the site.

    It’s not confidence. It’s madness. Pure madness. He’s probably used a lot of spray adhesive over the years
