So it's pipe wrench and tile cutter at dawn then.His main fight should be with the tiler though.

Work has been done.No I'm not paying anyone for work thats not been done for whatever reason. Full stop.
You have clearly misunderstood the situation. I didn't know how long the joiner would take as I don't have a crystal ball and he didn't know either as it wouldn't become clear until he got fully into the job. The tiler said he would come as soon as the job was finished full stop.It wasnt a job he could rush, its not like whitewashing a wall.Except it was (someone's fault) - you failed to properly schedule the other contractors to enable the plumber to complete the work on the day you agreed with him.
Goodwill counts for a lot; don't expect him to come rushing back if you have a problem a few weeks down the line.
quite... all this hypothetical nonsense about being unable to refuel his van or feed his family unless the OP pays up is ridiculous!These guys are all in the building trade, they know the score. Job gets done, they get paid. They are the ones who have to make allowances in any delays, it`s normal and they should be able to cover easily for just a few days! You did right.
Is he on CC?The Plumber has agreed Monday evening is fine now for completion and payment.
You have clearly misunderstood the situation.
He said he wanted to be paid today as previously arranged...
Clearly?
