Conversions - General- 26 May 2020
Life is too short to type out fully and relive the horror of Mower Developments. However for the benefit of people unfortunate to consider them for a job here is a brief summary: - 4 week job turned into 4 months - terrible workmanship on all aspects which we had to fix later (plaster work, central heating, structural, decorating, door fitting etc) - terrible communication - only interested in money Cowboy is a perfect description. Avoid at all costs. (Feedback is better late then never)

From start to finish Ricky and his team were amazing, I was very nervous as it was a big job but so glad I trusted him to complete the work he consulted me every step of the way for reassurance, now a year on the house has settled it’s like the loft has always been done the work is immaculate still over the moon with it, Ricky is coming back soon to do garden fences I know they will be done to the same high quality standards as the rest of the work he has done, Thank you again you turned a dark an dusty unused space into something my family uses everyday couldn’t have done it without you and the team.

Really terrible experience with both Aquila Management Services and the plumbers they subcontracted, George Dick and Sons. Good first impressions which is why I chose them despite it not being the cheapest quote I got, but every single thing that was done was done badly. The job took four weeks to complete (I was told it would take one week) and the entire time involved me having to bring up many problems and things that had been done wrong. I was never given a breakdown of costs of fitting and materials despite having asked for it on multiple occasions. I have been left with the wrong bath, wrong taps in the sink, and messy, shoddy work. On top of this, I was refused any discount at all when I asked for it and was threatened with legal action if I did not pay in full. Aquila refused to take any responsibility for any of the problems, and were very patronising towards me. As a result I would definitely not recommend this company, and I would say the same for the plumbing company George Dick and Sons. Best case scenario they were totally incompetent, worst case scenario, complete cowboys who are only around to take advantage of people.
