Re: Fitter wants 50% deposit before starting work should I give it to him?
I think he means (and I may be wrong) that the installer may belive you are hassle, A, you will pay a bare minimum or B you won't pay at all when job is done. A or B means installer getting knocked by another customer that rips a small business off.
From a small business prospective,, sometimes it is better to walk away from a potential problem than taking that risk.
Communication is key here, voice your concerns to installer and go from there.
I assume you know this guy's reputation?
