You were not honest with us, you left an Indian guy alone and left all day for the last 2 months you didnt stay to do the work. there's a word limit here, check Reddit

Work promised vs work done

Roof, garage conversion, porch, bathroom, everything done very nice. We only pay for the bathroom

Attempts to resolve

Inhumane Extreme levels of patience and being friendly

Current situation

80% job done, ran away, tons of issues, roof leaks and took my £500 Laminste money promising to bring b and q laminates next day but never did etc.

Ideal resolution

Return my money and kick him out.
