    Damaged my property - when/who should they pay?

    The problem is that the carpenter cannot it at the moment as he is out sick. I am only happy that 'my' carpenter fixes the mess as he was the one that originally built the unit. My fear is that the company I am dealing with may run into financial problems in the future. I would like some kind...

    Stainless steel splashback

    Could anyone tell me where to get a reasonably priced stainless steel splashback? My kitchen company quoted me €750 for one. Surely someone is doing them cheaper than this. I was expecting something in the region of €150. Maybe I'm being naive - again! :( I am based in the Southeast.

    Hillcrest Joinery Derry

    I was very close to going with Hillcrest. They have beautiful windows. However, I don't blame you for being edgy. I eventually settled with a company in Omagh. They insisted on 50% upfront and the remainder on delivery (before the windows were taken off the truck!). I got them installed and...

    Porcelain tiles are uneven - who is responsible?

    Guys, Thanks for your responses. I didn't get a cheap tiler. In fact, he was the most expensive of the three that were recommended to me and that I chose to 'interview' for the job. I also went to see some of his previous work without his knowledge. I believe in the quality remaining once...

    Porcelain tiles are uneven - who is responsible?

    Thanks for your replies. SpursFan: how did your tiler rectify the situation? Did he have to break some of the really bad tiles to remove them and then put news ones in i.e. more money down the drain? That sounds like a nightmare. Did you pay him? Can I ask a silly question? If the tiler...

    Electrical Fixtures & Fittings

    Does anyone know whether GET electrical sockets and switches are any good? They are available from B&Q and are quite expensive relatively speaking. I have read here previously that Legrand and MK are very good but they are very expensive at this stage of a build :-(
