"We too have had this on many occasions over the years. Nightmare trying to find a decent tradesman. "It so is,I have a leak when it rains heavily,but can't really locate where it's coming from whether it's the main roof or the flat roof. I've sat in all day twice for people now,it was a flipping miracle just have someone actually say a day,then the buggers don't turn up. Half the time they're not taking any more work on,then they'll suggest someone else then they either don't reply or don't turn up. It's bloody tiresome. | |||

"Couldn't agree more with what you say. I need several jobs done and finding someone to do it is hard work. As for web sites.... I had a dodgy gas fitter through one of those who was kicked off shortly after. Luckily I never used him. Other times no one takes the job up. I've learned to do stuff ( badly ) myself. Time is an issue for me tho." Now that's bad,I always go through a trusted trader website who hopefully do a half decent job,so how the hell did he get on there in the first place! I have a few odd jobs that need doing as well and have managed to get a contact,but he's not cheap for the small jobs he's doing. I could try doing them myself but don't want to cock things up. | |||

The trusted traders websites are no better than Yellow pages. You have to pay to be on their lists as a tradesman and the reviews aren't always as they seem. | |||

"Check a trade, rated people , etc are a load of tripe . Customer post the job for free & the tradesman then buy the job doesn’t necessarily mean the person(s) are qualified to do the job the only winners are check a trade etc . Finding a reputable builder / tradesperson can be difficult . Programs like 60 second make over & the such do the trade no favours at all just not reality. So my advice is to find a person (s)who has good recommendations local adverstiments then ask to look at his/her recent work ,or as I do with permission from my customers let them talk to each other so basically my customers verify me to other potential customers , a good trade person has nothing to hide " That sounds like a great idea. Maybe there's a local Facebook group where people can recommend tradespeople. | |||

So best of luck hope you get sorted soon | |||

"A lot of tradesman take on jobs but when a more profitable job comes along they do that first, I can understand why they do it but I can't understand why they don't phone you, Saves you sitting around or gives you a chance to get someone else in " They can't call because their phone is wedged between their builders backside! | |||

"money talks What does that even mean?" If they are fixing a leaky roof for say £200 but someone else phones them and says I need a bathroom/Kitchen fitting that's going to make them £1000 plus, The smaller job will be put off for another day, Considering most people carry phones and they will rely on them to make their living, Its amazing how many times you have to call them or leave a message before they get back to you | |||

"would be lovely to work at a ladys house n have fun aswell dont think id concentrate on the job " We don't want 'fun as well'. We want a tradesman who turns up and does his job. Longest feckin 3 years of my life finding 'tradesmen' when renovating this house. If they turned up, they would either leer at me, hint at sex, text me early offering breakfast in bed etc. | |||

"i was dreaming lol " So you say. The vast majority of 'tradesmen' I was unfortunate to encounter, either took the work on, then tried their luck, or hinted at the 'alternative payment' they would be happy to accept. When cash was the only payment on offer, they didn't turn up. Worst 3 years of my life. | |||

"Good tradesmen are busy and expensive. If someone is offering to do work straight away or if they have quoted very low that should be a warning sign. " Best way to find decent tradesman is recmendations from family , friends, trust a trader, my builder etc are just in it for money & don't care about tradesmen & ruining the industry. CUstomers expecting to pay not much more than minimum wage for trades & expect it done next week! Luckily on reputation & recmendations already booked until autumn. | |||

"Having worked in the building game since leaving school, I won't even entertain doing private work these days, new build and commercial jobs don't come with the arse ache of dealing with the general public. As for not answering the phone. If a tradesman turned up to do a job at your house, then spent half the day taking calls instead of doing said job. Would you be pissed off about that. Leaking flat roofs, absolute pain in the arse " Good point about them answering calls while on a job. I'd never thought of it that way. Still should call about the missed appointment though. I wouldn't like to work with the general public either.  | |||

I’ve thought that myself. Or when your paying for the shopping, try to negotiate a better price if you buy more beer.

I don't have shed loads of money but no-one else knows that. Why go to big companys anyway,I don't even know who the big companies are.

" But I don't even know if it's the flat roof that's the problem,it may be my back chimney pot and it's coming in through there when it rains heavy." This is half your problem, if it's the chimney, he'd probably be round asap, bit of pointing, renew some lead flashing. Easy job off a cat ladder. If it is your flat roof, could take a day just to locate the problem, holes cut in ceilings inside. Would you be happy just to pay for the initial inspection to see if it can be located? Or would that be just inspected. Worse case is someone's had a look at it before, done a bodge job, that's now failed causing more issues. Sorry for been the bearer of bad news, but your tradesmans probably hoping your just going to loose hope in him showing up and go elsewhere. Some people are just spineless cunts that will fob you off rather than taking on a job on they don't want or they don't know how to do it | |||

" But I don't even know if it's the flat roof that's the problem,it may be my back chimney pot and it's coming in through there when it rains heavy. This is half your problem, if it's the chimney, he'd probably be round asap, bit of pointing, renew some lead flashing. Easy job off a cat ladder. If it is your flat roof, could take a day just to locate the problem, holes cut in ceilings inside. Would you be happy just to pay for the initial inspection to see if it can be located? Or would that be just inspected. Worse case is someone's had a look at it before, done a bodge job, that's now failed causing more issues. Sorry for been the bearer of bad news, but your tradesmans probably hoping your just going to loose hope in him showing up and go elsewhere. Some people are just spineless cunts that will fob you off rather than taking on a job on they don't want or they don't know how to do it" Well it's funny you should say that as I had someone look at the back chimney a few years back and he just stuck a mushroom thing over it and all appeared ok. A recent guy who did actually come out said the flashing looks ok,I'm awaiting his quote. I actually want at least two quotes to compare though. I just don't want someone telling me a load of waffle or saying the flat roof needs replacing if that's not the issue. | |||

"Plus everyone wants jobs done for nothing. No I have sheds loads of money I want to give someone for doing a decent job... Well no offence you have shed loads of money but you cant get people to turn up. Look at big companys to get your jobs done instead of your local builder
Often the bigger companies don't want the smaller jobs, though.
Yeah thanks _amiss I fear I need back up here...
We've had similar problems in the past, several times, but not with builders, our boys have they're own company! But they are so busy, we have to go on a waiting list, but they do turn up when they say they will!

Well I've just had someone out to quote just now,he's pretty fit so I'll probably go with him. Good a reason as any ay! He sent me a text straight after saying lovely to meet you if you have any questions let me know...with a kiss!
So funny...I was more than likely going to say yes before that came through. I said I'd let him know by the end of the day.

"Ive just fixed a new flat roof that was leaking in done by someone else, its taken 2 attempts to find the leak. the flat roof is old but the new raised platform roof was built. Looked to be a nice job except for the leaks and to be honest not melted in enough on the torch on felt. the edges of the torch on was plain lifting with just finger nails. first part was tar the edges of old to new joints and seal up there edges that didnt stop the leak. the next part was to torch on more felt to seal the new joint to old joint and this cured the leaks." You've made a right old mess looking at that first pic. | |||

" You've made a right old mess looking at that first pic. "
not much of a mess for 2 walls dropped, to then clean off bricks reuse in the rebuilding of the brick walls above and below steel beam.
however im also going back to that job, to build a patio area where all those bricks was.
There was no skip and no where else to stack anything. | |||
