A deposit over about a quarter of the job is unusual. Never pay one by bank transfer to a new account without a written contract. What to check before you pay

Mick came round on Thursday afternoon like we arranged, sorted out the tap washer and redid the joint on the pipe underneath, and it's completely dry under the sink now - no more puddle in the cupboard. He was really tidy, took his shoes off, cleaned up after himself, and the price he quoted at the door was exactly what I paid, no surprises. Would definitely have him back.

Thanks so much Jane, really glad it's all sorted and dry under there now. Pleasure to do, and thank you for the kind words - always happy to come back if you need anything else doing.
