Painting & Decorating- 29 Sep 2022
Very unprofessional. We arranged to meet at the property for Nezzi to view the job and give a quote. After waiting 20mins. I called him. And he said 'Oh sorry, but I'm at another job' There was no courtesy call from him. He just assumed it was OK to leave a client waiting. Will not call him again.

Extensions- 19 Sep 2022
Man Ho or Calvin Ho' or Man Fu Ho, who owns Carve Engineering Co. Ltd. He also has a Hong Kong branch carve-eng.com . I didn't know he subcontracted the whole project to a group of Chinese mainlanders who couldn't speak English. And he asked a British Gas gas engineer to sign off the plumbing work. I obtained the planning in December 2021. The work started on 31/1/2022 and almost finished now 19/9/2022. It supposed to end in three months time as they promised. It's only a single storey side extension and shouldn't be left unfinished with pipes broke. The workers only came to work once a week and sometimes the work stopped for a month or so. The price included the purchase of a boiler and installation. But there's no timer or thermostat and I was asked to purchase these and install them with extra cost. The workers' van broke down five times and they didn't turn up for five different days. There's no windowsill and they called this a standard window people would install. The exterior wall was painted inconsistent to our original wall and I had to argue to get them pebbledash and repainted. They left the fences on our neighbours. The pipes are still leaking. Shower leaked for 3 months. They even charged extra for the electricity sockets they installed in our kitchen. They took down the mains water supply switch and never install it back so our house has no in house mains water stop valve! They didn't hoover and didn't have a hoover. Avoid this company!

Bathroom Fitting- 4 Apr 2018
2 jobs completed Job 1 was to S&F insulated plasterboard and plaster two walls in a small bedroom. Quality of plastering is awful, the walls are not smooth and have lumps and bumps all over, not to mention that the window edges now go towards the walls at an angle! Mess was left in the bedroom and I had to ask Rafal to return to try and rectify the awful plastering. Wasn’t much better the second time around either. Job 2 Rendering of garden walls, render work is atrocious. Not blended in or smooth, lumps and bumps all over it. Work done in the pouring down rain and then covered with plastic sheeting. the amount of cement left on my garden path, drive and patio is unbelievable. Big nails were left on the garden floor (I have two small children!) watery cement on my car, rubbish left,honestly the list just goes on! On a better note his communication via email and text is good!

Painting & Decorating- 24 Nov 2023
Unpleasant experience. Unreliable. Accepted to do paint the property for a fee. Once arrived started complaining there some wall cracks and to repair these he wants a day fee of £200 to prepare the walls extra than what we agreed. I had no choice as I needed to finish the painting soon. So I accepted this. Next day phoned me saying he wanted to charge extra money to paint the skirting board and the bannisters in the staircase. I already indicated to him this is part of the painting job. He refused to do it unless paid him extra £550 and to be in advance. I offered him extra £100 as good gesture though it was part of the job I advertised. Refused to accept the offer and left the job doing just 2 rooms and a corridor. Never again

Erik unfortunately didn't do a great job with the wallpapering. He reassured me he knows how to install wallpapering however I was left with bubbles and creases all over. Also for the feature wall he could not do the joining of the mural wallpaper design properly. Erik kept saying this happened because I purchased cheap wall paper - I assure you £20/per roll is not cheap. I recommend Erik for all other decorating jobs but avoid for any wall papering jobs

Bathroom Fitting- 26 Jun 2022
Cristi-George Dima came over for a quote to renovate my shower room. I warned him an organization is paying for the cost and their paper work may take a while before I finally receive the money. I contacted him to request his bank details, but there was no response. I guessed he wanted cash payment, so I informed the organization who agreed to send me the money for his payment. On phoning to give give him this feedback to encourage him to start the job, there was no response on three occasions. Still another call, and he told me he would come over two days after to start the work. He did not turn up. Yet still, another call, but the line was disconnected, so I left two messages for him on My Builder's website. He has to date, not responded and I have moved on. I am disappointed the way he has treated me. Finally, my advice to him is that, he should stick to agreeements and also feel free to discuss anything that he felt stod in his way, for a proper solution to the problem. Good communication is key to any relationship and he needs to take this on board and all would be well with him. I wish him well, however. Esther

Painting & Decorating- 14 Aug 2023
Mark was hired to complete some decorating at my house at the beginning of August, he originally quoted 6 days, and the job required painting a freshly plastered living Unfortunately, the actual job took almost double the amount of time - this was due to the following: - Mark needs to plan better, my daughter's room, which is an average sized room took the best part of 3.5 days to complete. This was even though I effectively did half his job for him, which was stripping down an old feature wall wall paper and prepping the ceiling from hairline cracks - We took Marks advice, by having the hallway, stairs & landing area sprayed. Not the best option, as there were elements and part of the walls where the spray did not reach and this caused more mess. Mess that myself and my wife had to clean up after him - Needs to better at cleaning & tidying up, Mark made a significant amount of mess during his time, which again, unfortunately, myself and my wife had to clean up most evenings. Clearing paint splash marks from flooring and carpet. I don't understand how Mark managed to make so much mess when flooring should be covered - Very poor attention to detail. Most evenings, myself and my wife re-point out areas not correctly painted. A common occurrence - Did not use all of my paint provided; decided to use and older satin paint, not sure why? Mark highlights that he has been in the trade for 20 years. However, on this showing, I am doubtful - would not recommend.
