Please tell how he is going to tell that there isn't a taped joint under the floor that's going to work loose in a few weeks time?
It's not about not being a nob mate, it's about doing the job right in such a way that limits your exposure to something that a guy who you don't know has done. The original guy might be the best spark in the world but on the other hand.......
Yes trev but If it were me I'd instantly be able to get a feel for wether the work was good by looking at the stuff that is visible. If it was a decent spark (a lot of the old boys refused to become registered and just carried on as usual) who had done everthing visible perfectly well then the odds of there being a hidden connection so poor that it suddenly comes loose are slim to none if you ask me.
You talk a lot about reputation but im pretty sure if I had a reputation for being a total jobsworth and getting on my high horse over tiny little things I'd probably be sat on this forum all day every day telling people to walk away from jobs as opposed to out working 6 days a week.
Im sorry if it seems Im having a pop mate, no offence is itended, I just can't understand your mentality.
