Extensions- 2 Mar 2017
I used the firm's services to build an extension. Darek himself seems to be a hardworking and reliable individual. Problem is - he surrounded himself by some not very professional people, including close family members, who make things much worse for him. The other problem was that most of his team members do not seem to have much loyalty to the firm and are ready to jump to a different job any time. We had a terrible delays with our project and some things we had to completely re-do using 3rd party services. If you can ensure Darek is 100% committed to your job - could be a good project, if not - please await problems (just like I had)...

Muhammad's approach to this job varied greatly from one day to another. On some days he seemed very keen and hard working. On others he seemed rather casual. His time keeping was poor and he rarely arrived at the time he suggested. When initially quoting for the job he stated the quote included scaffoding but having spent a day searching for scaffolding he then carried out the job without it. In the end after spending considerably longer than he initially stated, he did a reasonably good job. Despite paying him immediately and asking for an invoice for my records, I am still waiting.

Tony cancelled on the first day due to weather, even though it stayed dry until mid afternoon and prep could have been done. He confirmed he would be with me next day by 09:00 but failed to turn up. He did not contact me and did not respond to either text or mobile message I left for him. I wasted 2 precious days off work, when I could have been with family, waiting for him. I'll leave you to decide if you want to hire him.

Painting & Decorating- 27 Nov 2021
For the price charged the work was very poor. Unfortunately I paid most of the cost as it was dark when I looked but the next morning it was poor. Jack was a lovely lad, lots of communication but the finish was honestly disappointing. Gutted I spent so much money to be unhappy. He offered to come and redo, however if he didn't get it right the first time taking 3 days, I am not sure a second time will help. Now going to have to pay someone again to fix. No offer of a refund or even any money back. Honestly I would pick someone else (hate saying this as he was a cracking young lad).

Adrian from A N Property maintenance was hired to do some complex painting and decorating. He arrived on the dot to give an estimate and spoke professionally about the job. He arrived on the agreed date to begin work. He was very polite and nothing was too much trouble. He never stopped, not even for a drink. His standard of work was great and he took pride in what he did. The cost was also reasonable. I would have no hesitation in recommending him. In fact, we have already talked about him doing future work at our daughters houses.

Painting & Decorating- 30 May 2020
A 2 Bedroom Flat: We hired Connor to Elusion ALL walls, Ceilings, Gloss Interior doors, Skirting Boards, Staircase & Exterior Front Door. At that he had no negative feedback, gave a reasonable price, his photos on My Builder were impressive. The flat was empty he was given the keys. On arriving to pay him the Front Door had NOT been painted, it was included in the quote. Stepping inside THE STAIRS & SKIRTING BOARDS WERE ABSOLUTELY FULL OF VERY THICK RUNS, this was the SAME IN EVERY ROOM INCLUDING ALL THE INTERIOR DOORS & DOOR JAWNS. He BLAMED THE PAINT. Later he admitted THAT HE HAD NOT STIRRED THE PAINT BECAUSE HE HAD FORGOT HIS STICK. My husband is a pensioner & in poor health, because he became foul mouthed & extremely aggressive, he was FULLY PAID TO LEAVE. However, I contacted him through My Builder & I insisted we only communicate this way so everything would be logged. He agreed to come back and sort all the glossing as he didn’t want Negative Feedback. But we would have to wait, on the day he came back he hadn’t brought any Sanding Paper but we handed him plenty. He started at 9am & we drove off to an Doctors appointment. At 10am he texted to say he had finished, THIS WAS JUST IMPOSSIBLE. We arrived at 10.30am to find Connor had gone. NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE. THE new paint had NOT been opened. He admitted the GLOSS STREAKS WERE IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE, THEREFORE HAD QUIT. Overall it was a costly & upsetting experience
