Tradesperson inviting people into my home

Currently got a tradesperson in to do a job. They quoted me a day rate of 8 days work (which I think will take less time than that, but they're the expert...)

Anyway, that's not my AIBU. I checked my security footage this week and noticed a woman popped round to my house when I was out and tradesperson was working alone in my house. I can only see her walk past my front door to the back garden gate, she knocks and then the feed ends. She's seen leaving 4 hours later. The next day, same thing, except 3 hours.

At present the tradesperson gets here for about 8am and has already stopped working by 3pm. So that's 7 hours of work, fair enough, but 4 (and 3) of them an unknown woman here is (it's not his wife, I did a little social media digging and it's not her).

AIBU if I question him about it next week? He still has 4 days left to finish the job next week and I don't l like the fact there's an unknown and univited person in my house when I'm not there, plus, how much work can he really be doing if his "mate" is there for 4 hours.

Re pillow being for head or knees, possibly both, 3-4 hours is a loooong time.
If you're otherwise happy with the work I think you need to let him finish up then deduct x hours from his bill. Round here a good spark is hard to find. Or is it a hard spark is good to find?Wink

I suppose its ruined now the trash rag has put it over the air, they will know who they are & cease shagging in the shed

Oh it’s not on some gutter rag is it? That’s bitterly disappointing if so

IvyPlant · 18/09/2022 19:49

This is u professional. I wouldn’t have him back in the house and tell him why!

GettingItOutThere · 18/09/2022 20:05

1000000% she is his side chick and hes shagging her

i would do the same OP - get your key back and sack him! I would not pay him either and tell him to fuck off for breaching trust and if he leaves quietly you will not tell his wife

ExPatbythesea · 18/09/2022 20:06

Shamelessly following for the Tuesday updates! 🙈

LiftyLift · 18/09/2022 20:08

I can’t decide if its better or worse that he brings his own pillow and blanket.

kikomilano · 18/09/2022 20:11

Occam’s razor: the simplest explanation is usually correct.
