我哋啱啱用咗3個星期renovate 個bathroom. 初初都諗咗好耐搵邊間公司，最終就係怕唔識啲中小企，搵咗B&Q。工程超順利！個師傅超好，不過我真係日日有喺屋企睇住佢，而有咩特別嘅嘢B&Q都會跟進，雖然都有少少溝通上嘅問題，但完全係英國人style 果種可接受嘅。最後佢一開始上嚟做survey 認為要做嘅嘢最終無需要做都主動退返錢俾我，所以搵大公司可能會貴少少，但起碼佢唔會走佬先🤣（如果B&Q都執得我自己唔好彩啦🤪） Boiler 就用一間網上公司 Heatable, 感恩都係順利一日完成🙏🏼 多謝你哋分享，的確聽太多朋友俾人呃錢😢 你哋嘅資訊真係好中肯好實用👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@davidwan1715]

The trade was suppose to use a motorise sod cutter to remove the old grass and the roots. Put treated timber as a barrier around the area where the synthetic turf would be laid. Put a layer of crush rock (road base) as a base layer, then use a roller to compact the surface. Then place a layer of sand on top, then use the roller to compact and level the finishing surface. Only after the base is properly done, then lay the synthetic turf.

我覺得英國的builder 或裝修佬好多都係cowboy, 好似同客人鬧交係工程的一部份咁。 有次裝修地板，油牆連料，£7OOO多，佢要求收一半至開工，俾咗£3500 後唔見人，之後連 office 都執埋，我欲哭無淚。 另一次是舖地板，工作做了大半，已將地板逐少搬回van 中，完工剩下的幾塊，我要求留下日後可修補，但他居然說這些多餘的地板不在價錢中，吵了一輪也於是無補。 又有一次裝修花園圍欄，報價和材料大家都同意，但開工拆哂舊圍欄時，才發覺新的材料是非常cheap 的物料，與報価的有天淵之別，做定唔做，go ahead or not, 完全冇選擇！ 英國的裝修是場場悪夢，所以現在除非不已都不會做，可恨是：作為消費者，咁大筆款項我哋都冇受法律保障，俾佢哋禁住嚟搶！
