The quote from Cleverley was not the cheapest, and I chose them because ‘carpentry’ was listed as their main specialism and because of the positive feedback I read on Mybuilder.com. Maybe my concern should have been raised by the many who had not left feedback.
I found Gary and his associate to be helpful and accommodating; they arrived on time & tried to put right what they could & discounted the price of some of the work. I now have a built in wardrobe.
On the negative side, they created a lot of damage to existing paintwork, wallpaper, and furniture (particularly a gouge to a cupboard door). Some of the materials used were substandard: damaged timber and a damaged new cupboard door, although the door was replaced without a quibble. Gary’s assistant needed more supervision than he was given, as he created many instances which resulted in my complaints.
The other negative was in the way Gary assumed that he could use my property as his own (making his breakfast rolls in my kitchen & on arrival immediately charging his power tools). I felt most uncomfortable with this.
