I’ve got a friend in to do various carpentry jobs and it’s becoming a problem. He damaged our carpet (got glue all over it) and I let it go and replaced it. Within a day of him being back here, he marked the new carpet, he didn't come and tell me right away, instead he tried rubbing it and because it's wool all the fibres became lose and it looks absolutely awful. Luckily he's paying to get it replaced. But I think he's tried to cover some of the cost of having to replace the carpet by overcharging me for a full day. He worked 9-3:40 but charged me 8-4 which is classed as a full day. I'm a bit pissed off with this because I'm good to him, offer him coffee every hour, he has a beer when he finishes etc. He’s also banged walls/left dents and cut chunks out of our doors from changing the door handles, cut panelling too short, rectified it and it's not even in line and left knobs wonky. He’s messy, leaves sawdust and rubbish everywhere, and I have to chase him to clean up.
Am I being unreasonable for being a tad pissed off him charging me an extra hour when he wasn't even here and do I mention the chunks out of the door? I mean he can't exactly rectify it now because we're going to need a decorator in to fill it etc and he's finished his jobs... I haven't paid him yet but received the invoice tonight which is why I'm querying the full day charged.
