Thoughts? 20 min job, i had the part, ok might have been a poxier job than most but i have just text him querying that amount.

Good times back or wha?
Robbery. I’d have told him to fook off

No money has changed hands yet. I wrote back telling him it sounded a bit steep so why is that much. Radio silence. 
Give him €60 and send him on his way.Cheeky ****.

I replaced a siphon on the jacks 2 weeks ago because I was fed up waiting for the plumber to call.There isn't that much to it.
Can't beat YouTube videos, took me about an hour and half LOL

Had a plumber putting in new pipes and a boiler in the house. Knew we were getting the bathroom done as well, but he priced the bathroom separate to the rest of the house.
When he comes to start the bathroom he tells us it will cost €1800 in cash. We are getting a few other things done with the house and he had ripped out the old bathroom so probably thinks we are stuck and have money to burn.

Also, when it was coming to getting paid he wanted the rest of the money before he had even finished and when we asked him for an invoice he got arsey and saying that the situation was getting 'messy'.
Getting all defensive because we asked for an invoice.

The chap is a cowboy.  Tell him to get f**ked.  Any lad that wants cash for that amount is a dodgy coont.  You could pay him and you would never see him again and legally you probably have no proof he worked for you with no paperwork etc..

Yeah he started asking where the 'mistrust' has come from. 'I've done everything that I said I'd do' and getting a bit agro over it. I new he was going on holiday so if he got paid I knew it would be a nightmare to get him back.
For weeks he said his lads would be coming to take the oil tank out of the back garden, waiting and waiting. Wasn't until the electrician told us that 'his lads' were pikeys.
Everything did eventually get done and then he got paid.

Did you get this lad by any chance?LOL

Never pay up prior to work don as the fookers will be in no hurry to come back to you if at all. this lad wants cash in hand with no invoices given so no doubt he fiddles the aul tax system as well.

by giving you an invoice it’s knocked off 13.5% straight away for him because he will have to declare the vat. Also income tax. That’s why he is pissedLOL f**k him though. 

Any self employed tradesmen on here have any hassle chasing money off ****s? Owed 8k off a business owner and getting blatantly lied to every time I get him. Won’t answer the phone or respond to texts. I have to go into his restaurant to get the prick. Time to get the viper??Big smile

worst part of the job. The smaller places are way better to pay than the bigger set-ups. Once I get this off him I’m finished with him but I won’t tell him that. Let him call with a breakdown some weekend and tell him to f**k off then. 
I was going to remove equipment that we put in but was told it’s not a good way to approach it. Anyone know where you stand legally there?

Yes. You arrange a date and they don't show up.

Quick question:

2 bed house, d12 area, no upstairs bathroom

How much would it cost to:

install central heating
rewire
replumb
put in double glazing
put in an upstairs bathroom
put in a new kitchen

Would you see much change from 20k? Not thinking of putting on an extension at the minute but want an idea of prices.

I’m not a handyman but have spent the last few years doing a gaff up bit by bit and you defo wont be getting change out of €20k based on my experiences. Tradesmen are in demand and charging premium rates at the moment. They are big jobs as well.
