I had that problem with someone who was meant to be mending my electric meter - three bloody times it took before they came....

Gas board are no better - worse in fact. The answer is...sort it yourself (says the bloke who flooded his garage in an inch of water whilst 'sorting it himself' with the sink )

I subscribe to the school of DDIY, I'm a designer I don't fix plumbing so why do plumbers/admin types/accountants/personel officers/IT managers etc. think they can design?

I'm with Blast on this, every man/women to his/her trade.
Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"

Completely agree with you. It may well give you a warm glow of satisfaction to say you've done it yerself, but for me it's more satisfying to see the job done right.
Which is why we're letting someone else install the new walls, electrics, plumbing, furniture etc.
I can manage flatpack furniture and simple decorating. Beyond that, I know my limits

I had alot of damp coming through in the bathroom of my old flat so I phoned up my landlord and said he needed to do something about it as I thought some tiles had come off the roof, he turns up and looks at it and says "You sort it out and I'll re-imburse you". I was so stunned I went "Yeah, okay" then realised what I had just said. The next day I was walking through town and saw an advertising borad where his building company was doing some work and on it said "damp-proofing specialist"
