How is it possible, to do a job for decades and still produce absolutely shite work? I'm considering just giving the customers the tools to do the job themselves, they might do it better.just spent the last couple of hours putting right a full house of carpet that i gave to a new fitter that i took on a couple of weeks ago, still got to go back Monday and redo the stairs, starting with putting gripper on all the steps, not just most of them..over the last month, I've spent 5 days and a lot of money putting fitters jobs right and I've still got more to do. Sorry, rant over
....he missed gripper out on the stairs? This is one of the issues I had with a fitter I used to sub work out to, we ended up falling out because he couldn't take any contradiction at all, got really defensive everytime I suggested a better or quicker method. Wouldn't use anything but 2000s even though I'd give him 49 for the lvts. Stress mate stresssssss
I haven't been, but I'm going to have to, trouble is they talk like they know what they are doing and you'd expect with the amount of experience, they'd at least be reasonable, but it's like they don't even know what the job is supposed to look like
I'm not saying any of this because i think I'm the worlds best fitter, i know I'm just average, there are plenty out there better than me, but the work I've been seeing is just unbelievably bad
The shop I’m a subby (LVT) for recently went through the same thing, before Xmas when it was manic they got a lad to take some of the work load. Ive now replaced 3 jobs he done for them.
I always use ke49 or 66, 2000s in my experience with lvt work just gaps especially on the headers no matter using it as a wet set.
There’s a lot more bad fitters than good fitters. I think nicf and Floorskills ect have done the right thing by giving accreditation. Again it’s not 100% guaranteed but sometimes a start. Have they been on courses and done training. Most are self thought or only shown a certain way. Not easy to find good Floorlayer’s. They are few and far between
