Just had to look at a job for a developer that I work for but was to busy to get it done in time for him so he got another company to just do this one house, the company in question only supply's the carpet and the customer pays the fitter separately so any come backs its with the fitter not the shop, but the fitter isn't answering his phone so developer has asked me to sort it out tomorrow night ,anyone who fits carpets these pics should show how not to do it, just got to wait for phone to charge, ( it cheered me up anyway after the issue with my other job ) pics to follow
Silly developers needed it done quick so the new owners would sign contract last week it's on the market for £1.1 million and its now holding everything up it's the cheapest carpet around here it's one called wembley, everything is top of the range with ****e carpet when will people learn
but lads there the type of fitters that give us a bad name bet you they have nvq and everything!how can anyone fit that like that looks like a chippy as done it lol
and again this is why i created the directory - http://theflooringforum.com/listing.php Its fitters like this that ruin the trade. Hence the directory where you can check to see what a fitter is like (grading system) or at the least you can see if they have been trained etc. I see this sort of fitting on daily basis. Yes its funny but its us floorlayers that get branded with the above quality and our fitting prices are effected due to this. What a joke.
I won't be doing anything with that carpet at a push may save the bedrooms with a re stretch or prob it's fist stretch but have told him hall stairs and land need replacing
Thats a belter! Couple of weeks ago I had to do a stair and top landing for a mates aunt, the fitter had measured it short and there was only enough for the stair so he just nailed it over the last stair onto the existing carpet on the top landing, he then must have ran out of nails because he had put 3 nails inbetween the tread and risers half way up the stair and spray glued the rest. ( he was recommended to her aswell) Wish i had taken pics now.
Wembely in £1.1m gaff. Is that builder mad. He's lucky they didn't make him replace it even if it was fitted well. I only priced 1 house for developer, it was 100 m2 of carpet and 90 m2 of quickstep, I was £800 more than the other firm?? No way was they floor layers
Aparently it was all that was in sock to be fitted that week but like I said to him, what they ment was we have this ****e we need to get rid of
Very first day I put gripper down took me about an hour to do 4 x 4 room the old man comes in says thats perfect son but you have put it the wrong way round haha he told me everything except what way the pins should point LOL
I never took photo of gripper but on the treads on he winders he tipper was about an inch away from riser and carpet on tread was only clipped on gripper not tucked behind
we all know wembley is crap but that is some of the worst "fitting" i've ever seen, what've they stretched it with their little finger?
No excuse for that kind of fitting at all tbh I can't even comprehend what goes through someone's mind when they stand back and look down and think 'yeah, that'll do' wtf??? even a 1 yr apprentice would do a better job than that!!
Shocking! If I were you mate, tell 'em there's nothing that can be done with it and order some good stuff from you, get materials and a days work out of it! They'll probably jump at it if it's holding the up the sale.
