Sheffield people I need your help please


Recommended Posts

Having paid a builder (so he said) from this forum £1500 upfront for materials, he's disappeared. Now I'm in limbo because not only is the job started by him, he's left it and it's a hazard waiting to happen.

Because he took my money I'm now struggling to find extra to get the job finished. Does anyone of you lovely people know of any charities who help disabled people who are left in this predicament? Private replies only please ...thankyou for your time

So you've basically given a bloke 1.5k for nothing? Why would somebody do that.

 

Is it the norm to give a "builder" his cash up front before starting the work?

 

I've paid up front for materials in the past. Never in cash though. I always transfer directly into the builders account. That way at least I have some knowledge of where the money has gone.

Okay. And is that the norm for how this kind of trade goes? Say for instance I wanted a shed building. Would I be expected to give the bloke cash up front first?
