Just verbal contract. Cash/bank transfer when job done.
Haven't paid anything yet. I'll offer them some cash for the work done if I do bin them off. All they did was 2 hours breaking up the top surface which was loose and broken to start with, and take one load of rubble away.
I suppose this is what I get for getting quasi-tradesmen who post on local Facebook groups but I just couldn't get any decent tradesmen interested in the job.
Messing around not turning up
Leaving the job and not telling you we are
Finished for today
Is all pretty unprofessional, not to mention rather bad manners
It sucks you couldn't get a proper tradesman
Now you're in an awkward position of will i sack them, how much will they demand for work already done
If sack them who will finish it
Or let them carry on assuming they bother to turn up
And hope they actually do a reasonable job
Problem is it might look OK immediately after but will it stand up over time once
Start using a car on it
Difficult position to be in unfortunately
