Up until I was about 25 I did a few part refurbs and put in a few bathrooms & kitchens etc. I then had...
Cutting someone out of their bit is a shame.
I believe if someone has done work for somehting you should pay them well - then they will come back and do more. If you try and get out of the payment it could tar you with a reputation that you dont think people deserve paying.

I sold all of them because there was more money in them that I could use right now to make a lot of money fast - than I could ever get in rental income. Plus the areas I had bought in had severly dropped in rents but increased in equity. It was the right thing for me to do at the time...
Hi there
