What do you think of these, Got about 50 bathrooms, and every external is rough. Builder say`s thats what there always like, crac on ! Don`t think I will though.
Haha I would go and see the plasterer and kick him in the arse, its a pain tho as 9 times out of ten we end up making good corners I normally quote for making good a few ( couple hundred quid ) but 50 bathrooms is a lot to sort out and a few bags of rapid, good time to crank the price up a bit on the day work sheets and get a site instruction to make good
I`d love to get some day work sheets signed off. Trouble is, the foreman thinks there o.k ! I have already said they can`t be fitted as they are, so sent off a load of pic`s to the firm i`m working for. This is the same job as the one I posted earlier this week, with the sh1t engineered boards. Stevie Wonder was knocking up, and Ray Charles was on the trowel ! I`m not Superstitious, but even I could See it was gonna look rough !
should ask the plaster to finish off or you will get someone else to finish off and will invoice them for the work. We really need to take on the European approach in the u.k where each trade signs off the other trades work before they get paid. So the plasterer has to have the decorator or the floorlayer in your case signs off his work saying your happy with it before you can commence your own work. If no one can agree with if the work is passable or not then a independent expert should be appointed and charged (taken from owed monies) to which ever trade is taking the pee.
I am having similar problems on this job We are having to DPM the rooms and I can't do it on this amount of plaster, don't think he has left a section free from it! So we are scrubbing and grinding it off, going to have a big problem with the bill I think, They have instructed us to clean it off but the plasterer will have a heart attack when he sees it, If it was one or two rooms you wouldn't mind but there are 1100 plus the corridors, over 18,000m2 So I need to sort it out next week before we do too many.
one that annoys me is when builders caulk the skirting boards up to pass the air test, im not talking nice 3mm bead more like 15mm sasauge and they seem to wipe it all over the bathroom floors where theres vinyl to be fitted, no matter how many times you tell the site manager it still happens.
A little, he wanted to borrow my scrubber to do it and I said no, they always come back broken Will have a meeting next week, all he needs is a sheet of corex
I'm always scraping up plaster on jobs. Thinking of charging for it now. They don't care really and always get away with it
why are we always left to scrape and brush up every other trades crap free of charge?how would the suspended ceilig or sparks feel if we just left our **** in there work space. i am so fed up cleaning every body elses crap up before i can start my own work its unreal! rant over.
Are problem is we have gravity to contend with ! Plasters don't have other tradesmen walking allover there walls & ceilings lol
Had a real arse of a foreman on one site he thought it was funny that I kept moaning about cleaning up others crap so when he dropped his banana skin on the floor laughed and walked off I lost the plot and hatched my revenge I picked up a bag of rapid walked to his office where he was having a cup of tea with architect and labour and and hand full by hand full threw it into the back of his fan he was using then told him to clean my **** upthen do some of your own work and walked off site I neved did get any more work from that company, I find actions work better than words sometimes
Has anyone actually ever been paid extra due to amout of **** to clear up, one old boy used to sweep the room into corridor or joining room tben scrap the floor and sweep up when people used ro complain ne just used to say not my rubbish mines in that room pointing to a pile of dust
yeah me...when i did persimmon homes.. they were really miffed because they could never charge me for anything even the dirty marks on walls or chips on gloss work..lol
When I used to contract on shop fits once a team of shop fitters handed us keys on a Friday before they went home & said its all yours ! They hadn't moved a thing including all there tools ? There was one area we weren't doing so guess where it all went ? & put it this way we didn't place it down we through it all in a big pile with all the rubbish looked like a scrap heap lol They where fuming on the Monday when they seen it. Should of moved it your self mate ******
Good old persimmon homes I loved those sites kitchens bathrooms and wc in soft vinyl great money makers
