In a bit of a situation which is giving me major anxiety thinking about. Workmen quoted me for a job to renovate the kitchen. All good I was happy with the price. I asked them if they wanted half the money now and half on completion. They wanted it instalments throughout. Ok again no problem (maybe naively?). Throughout the work I’ve had phone calls from trades shops asking me to pay for materials. I’ve asked what it’s for and they’ve gave me a rundown so I physically went in and paid for the materials. I assumed materials were included in the initial quote but anyway. It’s come to near the end of the project and I’ve paid nearly a grand over the quote taking into consideration the materials which I paid for separately. I was also told 2 guys would be working the job but it’s been mostly 1 guy and taken longer. I’ve told him I’m not paying anymore because I‘ve paid over what he quoted me plus even more in materials. He’s now saying I owe him for this and that at the start which as far as I’m aware - I paid already with the first instalment. Feel like I’m being had on a bit now that time and money has gone well over….there were no major issues or setbacks other than an inside pipe was old and needed replaced which took a couple hours in a morning to resolve.
