Tradesperson inviting people into my home

1000 replies

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.

Hmm if it was innocent why is she hiding her face ?

Just in case all is not lost…..

ItsJustLittleOldMe · 19/09/2022 15:53

Yeah I need to know the outcome! I would film him then the next day confront him but only let him know about the doorbell images you have then see if he lies to you.
het as much evidence as you can and I would put a review with photos on his Facebook page so his wife can see what he’s up to if he is dtd on your time

This is completely over the top, also thoughtless and vindictive just to satisfy your bored existence. Have you thought about the impact on the wife? Do we know if he has children who could find out via school friends? His parents ?

In this entire thread, including the builder, you are the one who comes across as the most profoundly unpleasant

“Bone fixes”. LOL. The computer spellcheck changed it and I didn’t catch it.

I meant. “BONA FIDES.”

I hope this answers that question.
