I currently have painters doing the front of my house.
They verbally quoted me £600 but did not put this in writing, as I asked.
They have started, whilst I as at work, and I am unhappy about the work so far. They have not rubbed down the old paint, which was peeling gloss paint, but have just gone over it with masonry paint. I raised my concerns when they put the first coat on and was told that it was just a prime coat which would show up any defects.
I am going to stop them tomorrow as I am concerned that this is not the way to 'paint' woodwork. I expected it to be glossed etc. Can I refuse to pay them?
