as a contractor I would say name and shame, if someone does a bad job them I'm afraid they don't really deserve to be doing the job do they?

absolutely, although I am always a bit hesitant to do it on a forum. However if anyone in Perth is getting plastering work done and wants to PM me I am happy to give them the name so they can avoid him like a case of the bubonic!

Re: Shoddy workmanship - do I complain?
As most are aware I am undergoing some renovations on my craphole of a home just now. The kitchen is in but some of the work done by the plasterer is shoddy and I am not sure I can live with it. I still have no cornice and he keeps letting me down to come and finish it off. How does one complain, if one complains at all - do I just live with the shoddy work? I haven't paid him a cent yet so the ball is firmly in my court but I don't like complaining.

Re: Shoddy workmanship - do I complain?
There seem to be a lot of shoddy workmanship around. We had new timber floors put in a couple of months ago - we had such hassles getting it done properly - in the end we got our local handyman to do the finishing touches. At least that way the sleepless nights came to an end! Cost us more in the long run, but at least we know it was finally finished off properly. It just got to the stage that I did not want them back in the house as I knew they were just fudging things.
