Kitchen Fitting- 21 May 2022
Agreed price and date to do the work, after Dan visited the property however didn't reply to messages prior to the appointment and then messaged on the day to say wasn't coming and suggested I get someone else to complete the work. Very disappointing.

Hard Flooring- 2 Mar 2022
Rahel did not turn up for the job. We cleared our downstairs, packing furniture in our kitchen so Rahel could lay the floor. After he confirmed he would be there early in the morning, I chased him at 10am as he hadn’t arrived. He then said he had car trouble but was getting a rental and would be there by 2pm. At 3pm he said he was on his way and would be there shortly,before he cancelled at 5pm. I asked him to just be straight with me if he couldn’t do the job and he just strung me along for a whole day leaving my young family and I in a terrible mess. He is not reliable and I would not recommend.

1 word. Avoid. One of the worst tradesmen I have ever had the misfortune of working with. Work extremely shoddy, did not tidy up after himself. Genuinely no words to describe his work. Poor carpentry - honestly should stay far away from carpentry work, needs to know his limitations. Hung 2 doors on the wrong way so that the light switch is now behind the doors, paid him for materials and one of the doors is completely different to the others, poor workmanship, no attention to detail. Did not paint the skirting in the kitchen, painted bifolds without properly filing down now that doesn’t close. Did not replace the handle on the bifold door. Just so poor overall. If you want work to be done, just don’t go with this guy. So totally disappointed, messaged him several times and called him but he’s just blocked my number. Even took a radiator off and didn’t put it back. I could go on, as there was too much wrong.

Keep away from this cowboy. the owner is not a qualify gas safety engineer and yet responded to my post about gas safety certificate and gave me hand written gas safety certificate after checking equipment's in 10 minutes , not only that he fixed leaking sink and he took 2 minutes to fix the leak and within a week the sink is leaking again. total cowboy. I naively paid him on the same day for both the jobs.

Handyman- 19 Jan 2022
Agreed price and start date for project. He cancelled this job, with approximately 55 mins notice, due to his child being ill which was totally understandable.. Rearranged for new start date and he cancelled on that too with 6mins notice before he was due to start..He then decided he couldn't go forward with the job any longer. I tried to phone, but no answer... I already bought material ready for the project. This is not how a professional should behave like...

DO NOT USE! Had a few email exchanges in the lead up to the agreed day that work would be done. Simply did not show up. Not warning that this might happen. No response to voicemails or emails asking what happened. Left us in real trouble as the work had a genuine deadline by which it had to be completed.

Nightmare experience . Had to be asked to come.back several times as first time paint left all over the carpet and massive patches not even painted have photographic proof and apologetic text messages . Second time asked to come and correct or refund paint came off carpets patches still not painted again have photographic evidence and third time really poor job with streaks evident on rooms and basically hideous job. Not chasing them any more but will never use them again. Very disappointed messages insinuating slander however photographic evidence and apologetic text messages . Absolute rip off do not use . Fed up of these clowns

Do not hire this guy. He started a work for me and left it unfinished after collection of £300 deposit following further request of payment different from initially agreed deal. His piece of work was not good and he is so unprofessional. The Police had to be called for him to leave my property.

Landscaping- 14 Apr 2020
I selected this individual to extend my garden patio. He then subcontracted the work and ordered the wrong materials. .... my patio slabs were a completely different colour. The option he gave me to resolve the issue was totally unsatisfactory. He made no further attempt to sort things out for me other than to hand the job completely over to the subcontractors. The job ended up costing me more money. I would not recommend this tradesman.
