Delays on job

If tradesman gives a three week timescale but keeps delaying finishing the job, what can I do about it

It will depend on reason for delays, as maybe waiting for materials. If not put in writing a time scale that you expect it to be completed this should not be less than 2 weeks, it must confirm what action you intend to take i.e. Get someone else in to finish.
