i've seen ruff but that takes the golden crown award for bodged jobs.....lol

That's quite bad.

But I don't really get why you ban him from buying at Topps, after all, he's buying your gear, and once banned, he'll only get it from any of the other 1000 tiling shops to continue the bodging.

ps

Where did you get these photos from Gaz.

**wivers** · 30-07-2007

GAZZZZZZZZZ!!!!! What the hell are you doing posting pictures of mine ad Toby's work on here.... you know they should be in the gallery with our other masterpeices!!

Where did you get these photos from Gaz.[/quote]This so called trader,was registered at Preson Topps a few years ago,as long as I work for Topps I will defend my store and do everything in my power to advertise to everyone the fact that this man must be stopped from doing such work.The devastation he has left in his wake is outrageous and people like him eventually will make it harder and harder for lads like you,who are genuine from breaking through into this proffesion.I spent the best part of 22 yrs tiling to the highest of standards,leaving hundreds of people satisfied with the quality, and based a very good career on my integrity and honesty to my paying consumer.Its plain to see this so called man has absolutely no integrity at all,and if I find any of my traders at all half as bad as he is, I will ban them too.At least I can sleep at night knowing I have done all I can as a retailer to protect my custom.The pictures were given to me by another Preston tiler(a personal friend) who was asked to do a report on the job,to enable a court case ensue.Graham Bamber the Rogue in question has subsequently moved house,the slippery baastard

Good to see retailers stopping these so called tradesmen from using there stores...there should be a sort of rogue watch around stores so if one store comes across a rogue then they can inform all other stores in that area of him/her and stop them trading as much as poss...

Problem is not everyone will be like Gaz and not serve a known rogue trader. Smaller tile shops who need the business will still supply this type of trader. Wrong as it is!

**Varley** · 30-07-2007

That is about the worst I have seen, even from a DIYers perspective, let alone a professional tradesman. Nice to see you taking a stand Gaz, you da MAN!
