[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7408083, member: 2119"] You have no way of knowing how safe the contractor is until he’s on site and it’s too late in my experience. Just because contractors talk the talk about safety and charge a lot doesn’t mean they will actually do what they say they will do on site. We employed a reputable firm who subbed the roofing to two self employed lads. The safety nets were never used. We questioned this and were told to eff off and that if we held the job up we’d be charged extra. We were lectured about modern roofing sheets being reinforced with ribbon so they don’t fail catastrophically. How are we to know? We aren’t experts. In an ideal world we’d have told them to leave site, engaged a solicitor and bankrupted ourselves fighting a legal case, but in the real world you have said your piece and if they won’t listen and they crack on you hope for the best and trust in the good lord. You are well and truly over a barrel by then. [/QUOTE]
