cant make it til friday! My cooker, washer are all unplumbed, my fridge is behind me, i have no way to make a cuppa..and no flooring down!
how angry should i be with them especially as they had a 2hr lunch yesterday, when they could have completed my flooring!
(i live in a married quarter,so they are NOT my choice of workmen!!)

Tiny, remind them VERY sternly as to who is paying the bill and that they are under contract to you and they have a LEGAL obligation to turn up and finish the job.
If they do not, suggest to them that you will report them to Trading Standards Department and that you may contact a solicitor for breach of contract. That should get them moving.
BTW everyday they make you wait for the job to be finished, delay paying the bill and see how they like it.

I'm afraid to say the not turning up till the following day is standard proceedure - Workmen are self employed so will stack up work in advance to keep themselves busy. As for the two hour lunch they could be waiting for a part to be delivered - or they could be getting over being leathered from the New Year festivities.. My advice is to be calm do the hospitality thing as far as you are willing to and then with all the charm that you can muster sting them for as many free extras "while you are in there could you just......etc" and get your own back in dollars £'s or yen.!!

Could you report them to their boss/supervisor? You need to be harsh but fair as remember they will be in your house! Good luck...
