I have an elderly neighbour who I'm friendly with, but not going round for tea friendly. I had noticed the woodwork on the front of her house needed painting (think mock tudor beamwork) and was going to ask her if she wanted my brother to do it when he does mine next week. Anyway, got home last night and builders told me that some bloke had been up a ladder for a couple of hours yesterday doing it, and that she had paid him £500 because they saw her counting it out. I looked out this morning and clearly half of it hasn't been done because it is still peeling. I now feel terrible, because while I don't think she struggles for money, I hate people taking advantage. Am I being unfair, does it actually cost a lot to have exterior woodwork painted? And should I mention the bits which aren't done? She must have agreed to it, as she can see perfectly well and will have gone out to look at it. I don't want to cause offence, but I just don't think it was £500 worth of work. And if she has their contact details, I kind of want to report them to someone.
