Thank you for sharing the painful experience with those bad builders in UK. You need to watch them daily and closely. Plus don't pay any in advance or you walk out with those bad builders. Too many bad builders are in UK.

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👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
真係學到好多嘢！有機會希望Steve Fei 可以分享下關於投訴嘅英文，點樣禮貌得黎又可以表達不滿叫人做返好啲嘢

Really love the way you explained these painful experiences. Funny but very educating!
如果生仔係十級痛苦，我諗係英國搵builder裝修係十一級痛苦，遇著cowboy 你就叫天不應叫地不聞
Thank Stevo and Faye for your really useful information.👍
我平時裝修會自己做, 有時自己嘅手工可能做得冇咁好, 但自己可以買到d好料返黎同埋自己做平好多!
好喜歡Faith, 永遠好有笑容
多謝你們影片分享裝修不快事件，等我們多多留意。👍👍
Thank you for your reminder and advice 👍💐
Well done and welcome to the real world 🌎 Thank you for sharing. Sharing and encouraging 😂😂😂
🙏🙏🙏 Thank u so much Faye & Steveo ~
其實真係好難搵，就算quote 啱價，手工都冇保證⋯⋯
據我小小知識，boiler因用電大，要從電箱直接拉電，鋪草皮要有斜水及壓實的地，後鋪沙,再舖草。看似簡單，還是有很多細節位。英國不是要有牌才可以做嗎？在外國，要自己動手做，都是樂趣。
Thanks so much for sharing! Really helpful and practical 👍🏼👍🏼great content! Love it👍🏼👍🏼
喺英國裝修真係一個好慘痛嘅經歷。 本身諗住慳錢直接同佢哋deal, 點知搞到一鑊粥。 最後都係畀錢搵consultant先搞掂， 不過唔開名啦 因為樓上都有人提過佢嘅名。

其實一般本地人多數買唔洗乜裝修啲單位原因就係咁，最多重新油油簡單項目。香港人買樓鍾意全拆全新裝修，呢道唔係咁玩法的，何況新移民唔知頭唔知路難度更升級(唔係話stevo同菲)
係英國住左1年..2個月....D 人做野...無樣岩...樣樣都令人好勞氣.
退一步想香港人以後在這裡一定大把世界, 做乜都一定掂掂掂, 超高競爭力。
啲人覺得英國係美夢，係有現實一面的

好喜歡睇你們的Video 可以知道英國的裝修佬有幾差，我夏天的時候搵建築老換Facia board and Gutter，講好價錢，2星期後就來換，換左屋頂第一件Facia board 佢就同我講，佢哋吾鐘意我老公睇住佢地做嘢，因為有壓力，大佬你整緊我間屋，點解吾可以睇！
講到裝修就一肚子氣!😡第一日來開工就快到你唔信，拆Q晒先，之後就一個星期都唔見有人開工……美國呢度如果你搵同聲同氣既就係全部都係大6人，除了工頭、全部多數都係半桶水！🙄識D唔識D又大聲扮曬嘢！成日做曬之後又要改😡仲要等佢地來兩日又停三日，因為佢地同一時間騎著幾間屋，又請唔到人來做，就算生手都要二$300美元一日，這是我6年前裝修嘅問題…. 現在我女兒間屋係三年前就開始準備裝修嘅情況…今次係請本地鬼佬嚟做…. 問題係一樣，裝修工人轉型了…全部都係墨西哥人，情況都係一肚子氣，做錯又改，改完又改…話咗來又唔見人，唉！
呢條片，Stevo 好多時舉起雙手describe the ceiling or something, 好似舞獅頭咁👍😂
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！

Hi thank you for sharing. Do you have any one who you can recommend? Thank you
英國係咁㗎，乜都慢吞吞又貴，好難請到好裝修工人，因為佢哋有樣學樣，激到暈…。 住耐啲就慣啦⋯⋯
從來無諗過英國嘅技工，攞哂牌，但水準咁Q差😔
Thank you for sharing the experience and all the advices ❤
我好在買大公司boiler,再比每年維修去check boiler ，今年那個來，不足10 分鐘就走，之後去沖涼冇熱水，原來佢整壞咗！😡即時打電話去customers service 投訴,竟然話那個是外判😮好彩即刻笫二朝早派回自己公司的engineer 來更換兩樣新零件😂最後我有賺😂所以貴些都要選擇大牌子大公司。
不幸之中大幸
如果擔心裝修過程俾師傅呃, 要搵專業嘅項目管理人員同consultant, 唔好慳嗰少少錢。
已經搵咗所謂Contract administration/Project Manager 但佢哋係根據工程總值收取大約3%服務費，咁樣反而成為默許工程報價吾清吾楚，最後不斷超支的誘因。
D度D工程，好多時都有難尾，走佬咁，幾個朋友也中過招

我去Checkertrade揾到Chalk Build一百八十幾個positive comments, 結果一個2房單位5個月之後正式爛尾！
後來換了倫敦東香港人開的BCCD一樣死，佢話因為我爛尾要俾75%先開工，期間不停開單話找數，收晒錢之後呢樣唔做嗰樣唔做就走咗，到依家都唔退返錢俾我！所以一定要睇路！
我懷疑人人都可以寫評價， 大部份都係呃人！
BCCD出名呃人架
真係香港人騙香港人
both of you so funny😆😆
我都係香港朋友裝修完話個builder好，所以就揾佢裝修自己間屋，又做加建。最後發覺佢手工極差，仲要地板下面水管無接駁妥當，水管漏水漏到連地板都發漲我哋先發現問題(未入住前唔駛用水所以發覺唔到)😭😭😭撬開個地板見到好似水浸咁，仲塞滿建築癈料同垃圾。鄰居叫我哋去local citizens advice 投訴，不過唔知有無用，又驚佢會報復😵😵真係好激氣😡😡

Hi Simon welcome!
朋友經驗：搵A師傅幫佢搞屋頂（專做屋頂的公司），知我朋友要全屋裝修，就主動話幫佢接成個工程黎做，一個價錢幫佢搞掂晒咁話。
結果手工差其一，最慘㡳一半工作都未完成就走左佬，當時已經比左7成錢。
can we have a glance of the letter, please?
其實做裝修要比啲錢consultant 或manager 好啲 失望係為慳少少錢嘅cost
開始時要list out 所有item 係contract
仲要擺低retention money
Setup DLP
what's DLP? data lost protection 🤣
DLP = Defect liability period
英國好少咁玩法
香港好多人信這些師傅做嘢，但真的未聽過沒有出事，真的要有人看著怎做
I wonder if you have a licensed contractor. People in the trade know you have to prepare the ground properly before you put on artificial turf.
全宇宙嘅獅虎都係一樣㗎！
大公司嘅師傅係咪都係外判？
冇錯，多數係啲 contractor
裝修佬不論國藉百分之八十專搵笨🤣
你哋都遇咁多問題，我哋新嚟嘅真係聽天由命，真係唔敢搵裝修師傅。

8:31 wrong hole 😂😂😂😂😂😂
好危險‼️咁裝電器好大鑊喎有乜事會死人架
對裝修無認識嘅話睇住又有乜用？嗰師傅話要鑽窿先至做到嘢你俾唔俾佢鑽？佢鑽錯左然後話經你批准所以唔關佢事咁又得唔得？
日日請假睇住佢地，不如自己做一份 lol
